Convert QuickTime MOV Files to WMV on Mac OS X

QuickTime file format is a computer file format used by the QuickTime framework. The format specifies a multimedia container file that contains one or more tracks, each of which stores a particular type of data: audio, video, or text (e.g. for subtitles). QuickTime native file format is QuickTime MOV, which are widely used in some digital cameras.

Since QuickTime is not convenient for sharing via email or on the web, it is ideal for us to convert QuickTime to WMV format, which is higher in compression rate than other formats and therefore can achieve a very small file size when processing, editing, playing and sharing.
