MOV is a popular video format that can play your video files on multiple devices and platforms. But in terms of the best playback performance, MPEG-4 (MP4) beats MOV.

If youโ€™ve ever encountered playback problems with MOV, converting it to MPEG-4 format is an effective solution. But how do you do that? ๐Ÿค”

Donโ€™t worry. Below, Iโ€™ll share how to easily convert MOV files to MPEG-4 with the best MPEG-4 converter on Windows. Continue reading.


๐Ÿ” Clear Confusion: Are MPEG-4 and MP4 the same?
Technically, no. MPEG-4 is a coding format that compresses and decompresses video data, while MP4 is a container format for storing data such as video, audio, and subtitles. Converting a video to MPEG-4 means re-encoding that video using an MPEG-4 encoder and wrapping the final video in a container like MP4, MOV, MKV, and AVI.

* In a narrow sense, however, MPEG-4 is often referred to as MP4. You can convert a video to MP4 for wider compatibility and smaller file size.
