Format referenceWhy convert MP2 to MOV?
- MOV is more appropriate for the target application, device, or delivery channel than MP2.
- Compatibility is the main reason to convert when another person or service cannot open the source.
- The new format may support a feature the source container does not.
- The result can be reviewed without changing the file that other people still use.
Will quality change?
MOV output uses a standard video codec and may drop subtitle, attachment, or metadata tracks. Test playback on the target device. Keep the source if you may need to adjust the conversion later.

When not to convert

- Skip the conversion when the destination already accepts MP2 and no compatibility problem exists.
- For a one-off preview, a local viewer may be faster than creating a new delivery file.
