MOV (.mov) · Max 20 MB

Edit your podcast in WAV to avoid generation loss. Export to a lossy format only as the final step before uploading to your host.

For spoken word, 128kbps mono is plenty. Music-heavy podcasts benefit from 192kbps stereo. AudioUtils lets you choose the right balance of size and quality.

Record in the highest quality your setup allows. Convert to your distribution format once, at the end. Every extra conversion degrades lossy audio slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose WAV over MP3 when extracting from MOV?

Choose WAV if you plan to edit the audio in a DAW or audio editor. WAV is uncompressed and avoids the generation loss you'd get from compressing to MP3. Choose MP3 if you just need a smaller file for listening.

Does this work with all MOV files?

Yes. This tool handles MOV files from iPhones, cameras, QuickTime, and other sources regardless of the internal audio codec.

How large will the WAV file be?

WAV files are significantly larger than the compressed audio in a MOV file. A 1-minute extraction at CD quality (44.1kHz, 16-bit stereo) produces about 10MB.
