Convert MOV to AAC
What is MOV?
MOV
MOV container typically stores AAC or PCM audio multiplexed with video using QuickTime structure. Extracting audio means demultiplexing the container—separating the audio track from video and subtitle streams. This is straightforward stream isolation preserving audio quality. The audio maintains its original codec (AAC, MP3, PCM) after extraction.
- MOV combines video and audio streams in a container, allowing audio track extraction
- Contains separate audio track easily extracted to AAC format
- Video stream discarded—only audio codec and bitrate matter
What is AAC?
AAC
AAC is audio-only codec without visual components. Video requires frame sequences with visual data. AAC lacks video streams—creating video from audio requires adding visual elements like album artwork, static images, waveform visualizations, or spectrum analyzers. This requires video editing software combining audio with generated visuals, not format conversion.
- AAC contains pure audio data requiring video track addition for video output
