Convert MOV to AIFF
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 AIFF format
- Video stream discarded—only audio codec and bitrate matter
What is AIFF?
AIFF
AIFF stores pure audio waveform data without visual components. Video requires image frames synchronized with audio. AIFF provides the audio track—creating video also requires visual content. You'd need to combine AIFF audio with an image sequence or video source.
- AIFF contains pure audio data requiring video track addition for video output
