How to Convert MP4 Format to MOV Format?

 

Have you ever came across the situation that the MP4 video files you have were not compatible with your iPhone, iPad, iPod, iTunes, iMovie or Final Cut Pro? Usually, MP4 format is said to be compatible with all of them. However, MP4 is a multimedia container format standard specified as a part of MPEG-4. Almost any kind of data can be embedded in MP4 files through private streams. The video codec of MP4 could be MPEG-4 Part 10 (H.264), MPEG-4 Part 2, MPEG-2 or MPEG-1. MPEG-4 Part 10 (H.264) and MPEG-4 Part 2 are widely-supported, while MPEG-2 and MPEG-1 are less used. It is apparent that not all of those video codecs are supported by iPhone, iPad, iPod, iTunes, iMovie, and Final CutPro.
