MOV vs M4A
Only the sound is kept — the picture is dropped, so the M4A file is far smaller than the MOV video. Phone videos usually carry AAC audio, so in Smart mode the M4A is extracted instantly with zero quality loss.

About MOV and M4A
MOV: MOV is Apple's QuickTime format and the default for videos recorded on iPhone. Recent iPhones record MOV files in HEVC (H.265), which many Windows PCs and older Android phones can't play.
M4A: M4A is an MPEG-4 container holding AAC audio. It sounds better than MP3 at the same size and is the default format for iPhone voice memos, Apple Music downloads and many Android recorders.
