MOV to QuickTime Converter – Convert MOV to QuickTime Supported MOV or MP4

I have shot three videos with my iPhone 12 and these videos are in MOV format. But why it says the file 'isn't compatible with QuickTime Player.' when I transferred these MOV files to Mac for playback? I thought that MOV was best supported by Mac computers.

Tip: Incorrect AVI file association errors can be a symptom of other underlying issues. By default, the Zune playlist is not compatible with other media. Some apps prefer specific formats, but QuickTime movie files (.mov), most MPEG files (.mp4.m4v.m4a.mp3.mpg), some AVI and WAV files, and many other formats usually work in most apps without additional software. Older or specialized media formats might not work in your app, because the format requires software designed to support it.

MOV format is a popular video container format developed and well supported by Apple systems, devices and players. MOV format is supported by QuickTime Player, but not for all wrapped codecs. MOV can wrap H.264, MPEG-4, H.265, ProRes, etc, but among which QuickTime Player only prefers MOV with MPEG-4 or H.264 codec.
