About MOV
MOV is Apple's QuickTime video container. Produced by iPhones, iPads, macOS screen recordings, iMovie, and Final Cut Pro, it stores video, audio, and metadata together. The audio track inside is usually AAC or PCM, depending on the recording settings.
About WAV
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) stores uncompressed PCM audio — no data is discarded. It is the standard format for professional audio editing, DAWs like Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton, and hardware samplers. Files are large but bit-perfect.
When to convert MOV to WAV
Converting MOV to WAV gives you the audio track in a format that editing software works with natively. DAWs import WAV without re-encoding, avoiding any additional quality loss. This is useful for pulling audio from Final Cut Pro or iMovie exports for post-production work, extracting voice recordings from iPhone video for transcription or editing, and getting clean audio out of screen recordings for narration editing. WAV is also required by many hardware samplers, broadcast tools, and older audio applications that do not handle MOV.
