A MOV video file is a video format developed by Apple. It is an MPEG 4 video container file that is mainly used with Apple's QuickTime program.
Because MOV files often contain high-quality audio and video, a MOV file is often large. Converting to an MP4 video file, which is also better supported by different video players, is a good option.
In Windows, you can convert a video file with several free apps. This article shows you how to convert MOV to MP4 via VLC media player.
