How Does the MOV to MP3 Converter Work?
The CompressFly MOV to MP3 converter reads the first audio stream in your MOV file, leaves out the video, and re-encodes the extracted sound as a 192 kbps MP3. You can keep the automatic sample rate and channel layout or select the available audio settings before extraction.
Audio extraction runs directly in your browser. Your MOV file is not uploaded to a server, and the completed MP3 file downloads from the browser to your device.
What "directly in your browser" means
- Your MOV video is not uploaded to a server.
- Audio extraction and MP3 encoding run locally on your device.
