- MOV and MP4 share the same container format, so most Apple apps accept
.mp4just as well - if your target tool supports MP4, you may not need to convert at all.
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert TS to MOV without any quality loss?
Yes, if the source contains H.264 video and AAC audio the streams are remuxed into the MOV container without re-encoding, so quality is identical to the original.
Will the converted MOV play in iMovie or Final Cut Pro?
Yes, as long as the audio is AAC. TV recordings typically carry AC-3 audio, which Apple apps reject - converting that track to AAC solves the problem.
Why does HandBrake not list MOV as an output format?
HandBrake only exports MP4 and MKV. Use our free converter or ffmpeg to get a true
.mov file, or accept MP4 - Apple apps treat them almost identically.What is a TS file?
