No support for .mov files

Idk I think it’s annoying having to convert to mp4 every time I crop or edit a video on my phone.

That sounds like a you problem lol...mp4 is by far the more universally used video format

mov files are annoying they also don't have thumbnails on windows. they used to be more popular but it isn't used much anymore. avi was also horrible but that format seems to have become extinct. i hope mov goes the same way i think mov has some niche advantages for video editing

Mp4 is the most used format. If it was up to me then all formats would be mkv. That is the best format

I despised .MOV files in the 2000s because on Windows you had to run Apple player to view them. Even Apple stopped supporting it nearly a decade ago. Plenty of sites or programs will convert them for free now if you still have them.

These days .mov is just annoying, especially when the codec used is H264. One of the reasons GWM doesn’t support it is that it isn’t supported by browsers (except maybe Safari?), so the site would need to do work to repackage and possibly transcode. For a site developed by one guy in his spare time, it’s a big effort for little return.

Just get Handbrake to do the conversion.

Just a note, as tamarok alluded to, most .mov files already have their video stream in the H264 codec, meaning the stream just needs to be repackaged into a .mp4 container, which can be done losslessly without re-encoding the actual video data.

Handbrake probably has that option, I personally use Avidemux (which works fine with mp4s) set to "copy" mode, or FFmpeg Batch, with -c copy in the Parameters box.
