Convert MOV to MP3
A MOV is a video file, but often the part you want is the sound — an interview, a lecture, a voice note recorded on an iPhone. This takes the audio track out of the video and re-encodes it to MP3, so you get just the sound in a format that plays on essentially everything, at a fraction of the size.
