MOV to AVI Converter

Kept

• Recordings from iPhone and Mac are read, including HEVC and HDR video
• MPEG-4 (Xvid-compatible) video with MP3 audio, which plays on old computers, DVD players with DivX/Xvid support and legacy software
• The original resolution and frame rate are kept
• A phone video recorded sideways or upside down is turned the right way up

Good to know

• Audio is stereo MP3, and the file is usually much larger than the same video as MP4.
• The video is re-encoded, which is slightly lossy. Only one video track and one audio track are kept; extra audio tracks and subtitles are left out.
• A width or height that is an odd number of pixels is trimmed by one pixel, because video encoders need even sizes.
• HDR video (for example from a recent iPhone) is converted to normal SDR colors, and 10-bit video becomes 8-bit, so it plays everywhere.
• Audio with more than two channels (5.1 surround) is mixed down to stereo.
• Files up to 150 MB are accepted. Long or very high-resolution videos can take several minutes, and a conversion that runs past about 4 minutes is stopped with a message.
