What changes from MOV to MP4
MP4 output
MP4 is the broad-compatibility delivery choice for browsers, forms and everyday playback.
Codec and compatibility
It uses H.264 video and AAC audio in this extension.
Audio
AAC audio is widely supported across current players.
From Apple capture to everyday delivery
Use MP4 when an iPhone, camera or QuickTime MOV must play in a browser, Windows app, learning portal or upload form. The H.264/AAC result favors delivery rather than an editing master.
Check professional and HDR sources
A MOV can contain ProRes, HEVC, high bit depth, rotation, color or HDR metadata. Chrome must decode the tracks, and a converted copy may not reproduce every production metadata field identically.
Limitations
- Input decoding and output encoding depend on the source codec, Chrome version and device capabilities.
- Changing the container normally re-encodes the video; it is not a lossless filename change.
- The result can be larger or smaller depending on duration, motion, audio, resolution and codec efficiency.
Frequently asked questions
Does renaming .mov to .mp4 convert the file?
No. The source must be decoded and a real output container must be created.
Is the video uploaded?
No. The selected video is processed locally in Chrome.
Is the original changed?
No. The extension creates a separate output and leaves the original untouched.
