Higher volume when rendering to MOV than to WAV (SOLVED)
I've rendered the same piece of audio (which is a video too) to WAV and then to a video file (MOV) with Reaper. I added both of the rendered files to the project I was working on to compare them, and I could already notice at first sight that the audio wave in the video was higher than the WAV one. Then I analyzed them with the SWS Loudness extension and the results were much different. Why does this happen? I'll put below the rendering details and the results in the SWS Loudness extension for each file.
I just discovered what was wrong. When I rendered to WAV, I added the file to the project but didn't mute it, so when I then rendered to MOV i was rendering the file twice (+6dB = in phase). Big mistake of mine.

Been there
