Convert .mov to .mp4 using FFMEG

Why do you need this tool ?

I myself often record daily moments with my smartphone, iphone, DSLR camera…etc. And these devices has output file extension is .MOV . I will need to convert into the other extension : .MP4.

Why don’t you find a professional multimedia procession program?

It need more space to setup the software and It costs a lot of money ( adobe premiere, after effects … ). And I only need to concatenate .MOV videos into one .mp4 file.

FFMPEG is the best solution in this case.

Almost free, and available on all operation system ( MAC, Windows, Linux, Ubuntu …).
