About MOV to MP4

MOV recordings often come from iPhones or QuickTime and may use codecs an older device cannot decode. With MOV to MP4, mP4 is useful for widely supported video delivery, provided the receiving device accepts its codecs.

MOV to MP4 starts with browser processing for supported input. A MOV file over 50 MB, or a failed device attempt, can use compatible server processing when capacity is available. That fallback uploads the file and deletes its job after download. The 1 GB selection limit does not guarantee completion.
