Generation loss — quality may degrade
AMR uses lossy compression, and so does MOV. Converting means decoding and re-encoding — each cycle can permanently degrade quality. Convert from the original source file whenever possible.
What compression artifacts to expect
MOV lossy compression can produce codec-dependent (ProRes: minimal, H.264: blockiness). At the high quality settings CocoConvert uses by default, these are usually invisible to the eye. Lower quality settings trade visual fidelity for smaller file sizes.
