MOV files store audio alongside video in AAC, ALAC, or PCM format within Apple's QuickTime container. WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is Microsoft and IBM's uncompressed audio standard from 1991, storing raw PCM samples in a RIFF container. WAV is the universal uncompressed audio format, supported natively by every operating system, audio editor, and DAW ever made.
Extracting audio from MOV to WAV produces an uncompressed file that is universally compatible across all platforms and professional audio tools. Unlike AIFF (Apple-specific), WAV is equally at home on Windows, macOS, and Linux. This makes it the safest format for audio interchange when working with mixed-platform teams.
WAV is also the required import format for many audio tools, broadcast systems, and CD mastering workflows that expect uncompressed PCM input.
FFmpeg demuxes the MOV container, decodes the audio track to raw PCM, and writes it into the RIFF-WAV container. Default output is 16-bit signed integer little-endian at the source sample rate (typically 44.1 kHz for iPhone, 48 kHz for professional sources). 24-bit and 32-bit float options are available. WAV uses a simple RIFF chunk structure with fmt (format) and data (samples) chunks.
WAV output captures every decoded sample with zero additional loss. From ALAC or PCM sources, the result is bit-perfect. From AAC sources, the WAV preserves the full decoded quality without further degradation. File sizes are approximately 10 MB per minute of stereo audio at CD quality.
