Convert APE to MOV

Understanding APE and MOV file formats

APE (Monkey's Audio) is a lossless audio compression format known for preserving original sound quality while reducing file size. It is popular among audiophiles but is not as widely supported as other audio formats.

MOV is a multimedia container file format developed by Apple, primarily used for storing video, audio, and text. It is compatible with both Mac and Windows platforms and is widely used for video editing and playback.
