When not to convert MOV to ASF
- Skip ASF for archival masters: lossy compression discards detail, so keep the MOV original.
- Flatten transparency first: ASF has no alpha channel, so composite MOV over a background color.
Limits
Starting point: MOV - QuickTime camera files with ProRes or H.264. Some codecs inside need transcoding before browser playback. Live-archive headers can confuse players; remuxing usually repairs them. Encode ASF (WMV2 / WMA) from MOV at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
