Why convert WMV to MOV?
Both WMV and MOV use lossy compression, so the conversion mainly changes compatibility, not quality. The main reason to convert WMV to MOV is compatibility: MOV plays back smoothly in browsers and on mobile without a codec pack, while WMV doesn't always. If you're sharing a file with someone else, sending it to a tool that expects a specific format, or archiving it for the long term, MOV is usually the safer target.
