Audio-only container delivery: how CAF becomes MOV

CAF audio is what actually exists here, and it gets encoded straight into a MOV media container. No artwork or motion is invented, so the resulting MOV file can carry no meaningful video stream at all. Core Audio Format input derives sample description, packet table, channel layout, edit information, and data extent from independent CAF chunks. MOV delivery uses QuickTime track and sample structures suited to Apple and editing workflows, with codec, color, time-scale, chapter, and cross-platform support checked separately.

Decoded media - Apple Core Audio Format chunks designed for long recordings and varied audio codecs. Encoded delivery profile - A QuickTime container written here with H.264 video and AAC audio.

Reading CAF correctly and satisfying what MOV expects

CAF

What can fail when CAF audio format is interpreted

Non-Apple applications may reject CAF or support only a subset of the codecs and channel layouts it can contain.

MOV

What QuickTime Movie cannot safely promise

MOV support varies outside Apple and editing software, while source captions or extra tracks may not be retained.

ENGINE

How the MOV writer handles this route

The verified MOV profile uses H.264 video at CRF 23 and AAC audio at 192 kbit/s.

Acceptance evidence for the converted MOV

BEFORE

Record the CAF evidence before conversion

Inspect the actual codec, sample rate, bit depth, channel layout, duration, markers, and destination-app playback.

AFTER

Test the MOV file in its receiving workflow

Scrub the timeline and verify frame size, frame rate, audio sync, color, and target-app playback.

When to actually choose CAF to MOV

Use this route only when the receiving workflow specifically accepts audio inside MOV. It is not a music-visualizer or slideshow generator.

What changes between the CAF model and the MOV deliverable

MOV can hold a timed animation, but CAF has no frames to give it; expect a single still frame unless more source material is supplied.
Treat CAF-specific metadata fields as optional in the MOV result until you have actually confirmed they survived.
