I need some help figuring out how to convert a MOV file to MP4 format. I know both are popular video formats, but I’m not sure which tools or methods are best for making the conversion without losing quality. Could someone suggest the easiest and most reliable way to do this, either online or using software?

Briefly, the fastest means of converting your file is definitely using an online tool such as CloudConvert or Adobe Express if your file is small, but for larger files, VLC Media Player or Handbrake are the most reliable desktop options. If you are a Mac user, you can quite often just rely on iMovie to re-export the file as an MP4, or even try a "hack" by changing the file extension from .mov to .mp4 manually (although this only applies if the video codec is H.264).
