How it works

What happens to your file.

FFmpeg decodes the MOV streams and re-encodes video as H.264 with AAC audio in an MP4 container. The fixed MP4 option keeps the workflow simple while preserving the source dimensions unless the encoder requires a compatible frame size. An iPhone’s HEVC video, often recorded in HDR, comes out as 8-bit H.264 in standard range, the form every phone, browser and Windows PC plays, and a video filmed upright stays upright.

Where it stops: This is a re-encode, so it may take time and can lose some quality. A DRM-protected source cannot be converted.

Questions

Common questions.

Will the MP4 play in a browser?

H.264/AAC MP4 is broadly supported by current browsers and phones.

Will an iPhone video play on Windows or Android?

Yes. The HEVC and HDR an iPhone records are converted to H.264 in standard range, which Windows, Android and every browser play, and a portrait video stays the right way up.
