Q: Converting iPhone .mov to .mp4
So I have a .mov iPhone video (1080p 30fps). Client wants mp4. Is there a quality benefit to using Handbrake instead of a simple Export-to-mp4 from QuickTime Player 7? If so, is Handbrake the best (resolution quality) conversion solution? (I heard it described on a forum as lossless.) Thanks.

Answer:A:
Renaming to .mp4 works in this case, because modern QuickTime .MOV files and .MP4 files conform to the exact same specifications. For most intents and purposes, they are the same.
