Why should I convert MOV to AVI?

How does MOV to AVI conversion affect quality and metadata?

The video stream is remuxed or re-encoded into an AVI-compatible codec. Resolution, frame rate, and audio bitrate are preserved with a high-quality preset. However, features like alpha channels, 10-bit color depth, or custom metadata may be dropped due to AVI's limitations. Use a lossless codec or 'Source' bitrate to minimise data loss.
