CAVS to QUICKTIME Movie conversion is the process of transforming video files in the CAVS container/codec format into the MOV container used by QuickTime and many macOS/iOS applications. This conversion remuxes or transcodes the CAVS-encoded video and associated audio streams into a .mov file, making the content compatible with QuickTime players, editing software, and devices that prefer MOV containers.
