Format conversion
MOV to WAV
MOV to WAV is the conversion of choice when you want to pull audio out of a QuickTime file for editing in a DAW. VideoSplit does it client-side, at 48 kHz PCM, with no quality loss on top of whatever the source already holds.
Final Cut Pro sometimes writes MOV with an internal PCM audio track — in those cases, WAV output is effectively a rewrap of the original audio with no transcode needed. For AAC MOVs, it is a one-time decode to PCM.
Step-by-step
- Open VideoSplit.io. Drop the .mov file.
- Pick WAV. Click the WAV tag.
- Download. The 48 kHz WAV saves with the MOV's filename.
Quality and bitrate guidance
A PCM-source MOV converts to WAV with zero generational loss. An AAC-source MOV converts to WAV with the AAC decoded once — the WAV is a bit-exact representation of what the decoder produced, but the AAC compression in the source is still the ceiling.
Practical notes
- For Final Cut Pro post-production, the WAV can go straight back into the FCPX timeline as an audio-only clip.
- Long MOV files from live events may benefit from trimming before extraction — WAV output is about 10 MB per minute.
- For a truly lossless FLAC copy, convert the WAV locally with ffmpeg after download.
