This extracts the audio and discards the video entirely. The soundtrack inside a MOV file is typically AAC, and it is re-encoded to WMA on the way out.
Expect a much smaller file. Video accounts for most of the bytes, so about 263 MB per minute becomes roughly 1 MB per minute of WMA.
Subtitles do not survive audio extraction, since an audio container has nowhere to store them.
When a video holds several audio tracks, the main one is extracted; alternate language tracks are not merged into the result.
Extracting WMA audio from a MOV video pulls the soundtrack out of the QuickTime container and writes it as a standalone ASF file. The video stream, which holds most of the data, is discarded.
Developed by Apple in 1991, MOV carries H.264, H.265, or ProRes video and AAC, ALAC, or PCM audio. That combination sets the upper bound on what any conversion can preserve.
WMA was introduced by Microsoft in 1999. It holds lossy-compressed audio (WMA or WMA Pro) and plays natively on Windows.
After converting your file, you can use Scriptivox transcription services to convert your audio to text. Perfect for meetings, interviews, podcasts, and more.
