ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mov That just rewraps the video into a MOV container without re-encoding, so it takes seconds and there's no quality loss. Works for most normal phone or camera footage. VLC can also do it through Media > Convert/Save if you'd rather not touch the command line. Skip HandBrake for this, it doesn't output MOV.
