What happens to your file
MOV files are common for Apple devices, Final Cut Pro and iMovie projects, but not every app or device opens them. WAV is ideal for audio editing, recording, sound effects, mastering. Spool converts MOV to WAV with FFmpeg — real decoding and encoding, not a renamed file extension.
Audio only. Spool drops the video stream and keeps the soundtrack. The audio is encoded to WAV losslessly from the decoded source. Tags such as title and artist are carried over when present.
