Why convert AVI to MOV?

Converting AVI to MOV optimizes your video for different playback requirements. AVI (Audio Video Interleave) and MOV (QuickTime Movie) use different container structures with different strengths.

AVI vs MOV: technical comparison

AVI (Audio Video Interleave, introduced in 1992) uses proprietary compression. MOV (QuickTime Movie, introduced in 1991) uses proprietary compression. AVI browser support: None. MOV browser support: Limited (Safari; partial in Chrome/Firefox).

What happens to quality?

The quality impact depends on the specific settings used during conversion. MOV uses compression that may affect quality depending on the chosen settings.

File size impact

Typical AVI file size: A 1-minute 1080p DivX video: ~20-40 MB; uncompressed: ~3 GB. Typical MOV file size: A 1-minute 1080p H.264: ~15-30 MB; ProRes 422 HQ: ~900 MB.

Pro tip

For the best conversion results, always start from the highest quality source file available. Converting from a previously compressed file compounds any existing compression artifacts. When in doubt, use higher quality settings — you can always re-convert at lower quality later, but you cannot recover quality that has been lost.
