When not to convert MOV to MPEG
- Skip MPEG for archival masters: lossy compression discards detail, so keep the MOV original.
- Flatten transparency first: MPEG 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. Interlaced sources may need deinterlacing for clean playback. Encode MPEG (MPEG-2 / MP2) from MOV at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
