About MOV to AAC Conversion
MOV files from iPhones, iPads, and Mac applications store audio as AAC-LC, HE-AAC, or Apple Lossless (ALAC) alongside the video track. AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is the MPEG-4 standard audio codec and Apple's preferred audio format since iTunes launched in 2003. Converting MOV to AAC extracts just the audio layer from your QuickTime video files, discarding the video track entirely.
Why Convert MOV to AAC?
Extracting AAC from MOV is the most common way to get audio from iPhone recordings, FaceTime calls saved to disk, QuickTime screen recordings with voiceover, and Mac-based podcast recordings captured in QuickTime Player. The audio extraction produces universally compatible files playable on every smartphone, computer, and car stereo.
Since most MOV files already contain AAC-encoded audio, the extraction can often be done as a stream copy — no re-encoding required — preserving the original quality bit-for-bit.
