Converting iPhone Movies to a Windows Viewable Format?

I have a couple of videos that I recorded on my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1) that I would like to share with family members who are Windows users (7 or XP). The iPhone created them in ".mov" format. What is the best way to convert these to a format that works on Windows? I don't have the Pro version of Quicktime (just the standard install). I assume there must be a way to do it using VLC. For the life of me, I can't figure it out. Any other applications that could be recommended? (preferably, free). Thanks.

"There is no reason to modify them in the way you want to."
Completely untrue! I own the blu-ray. I own the digital copy. I can get 3 properly compressed movies on my iPhone for each DRM movie. If one wants to put more than a few movies on their iPhone, their hand is forced into learning to work around the system. This is a shame.

I think handbrake is easier for novices.
Mpegstreamclip is good software with a lot of great features but may be more than most people need.

IPhone .mov videos crash windows explorer

I use OneDrive on my iPhone 5s to back up my photos and videos. When I try to view the videos on my Dell XPS Windows 8.1 machine, I run into trouble.
When I use Windows Live Photo Gallery, it crashes whenever I try to view one of the videos. If I open the camera roll folder in windows explorer it crashes when creating the thumbnails. I also tried using the modern UI photo viewer. It crashes as well when
opening the thumbnails. I tried using VLC. It does not play them either. There seems to be quite a few other people experiencing this issue.
I tried uninstalling some updates as mentioned here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/7ca111ff-8978-4794-945c-5f36edb91786/videos-imported-from-iphone-4s-crashing-explorer-media-player-quicktime?forum=w8itproappcompat and here:

Quicktime does not convert my .MOV file into a watchable format on Quicktime

Hi guys!
I won't give you all a long sob story but basically, I went to my first music festival over the weekend and uploaded my videos onto my friends computer, I then uploaded these videos (i took with my iPhone) to Google Drive. When i got back onto my own computer, I download the .MOV files from Google Drive, these videos would not convert into a watchable format. It gives me the message -
"QuickTime Player can't open "IMG_8788.MOV". To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More."
It says that Quicktime should support MOV files. I am using version 10.3 Quicktime player with iOS Mavericks. I really want help with this issue as I will be devastated if these videos are lost. My friend obviously deleted them off his computer because they did take up alot of space!

iPhone recorded files should already be compatible QT X v10.3 (and QL) as is in the MOV file container. However, the process of downloading, uploading, and again downloading the files may have created some sort of issue causing QT X to not properly "recognize" the content and thus, wants you to check for additional support.
In any case, will the files open in any other media players? (E.g., VLC, MPlayerX, NicePlayer, QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, etc.) For instance, if the files open in QT 7 Pro, MPEG Streamclip, or VLC, you may be able to copy the data to a new MOV file container which QT X will open and play. (I.e., this procedure does not recompress the data and is reasonable quick. Also not sure if using the "Command-D" Finder option to "duplicate" the file will create a "readable" file or not but you might try it.)

Embedding a .mov object that's viewable from an iPhone?

I'm trying to set it up so that visitors to my band's website using iPhones can listen to two songs, about 3 minutes long each.
I'm using the following embed tag:
<embed src="http://mysite.pratt.edu/~cg520/web_sounds/quicktime/audio.mov" width="100" height="20"controller="true" loop="False" autoplay="false" KEEPASPECTRATIO="true" playrate="100" quality="high" volume ="100">
This tag works. It's a sample tag I pulled off a web development classroom site.
When I use the exact same embed tag with the .mov files I've saved using QuickTime Pro, they show up on the website just fine, but they won't work with an iPhone.
For this reason I can safely say the problem is the format I'm saving the file in.
What format do I need to save my QuickTime movies in so they're viewable / listenable using Safari on an iPhone? I've tried saving as an iPhone movie (.m4v) as well as just about every other configurable option from the "save" menu on QuickTime Pro. What am I missing?
Thank you.
-Jeremy

Duh... found my error... I was attempting to access the data by referencing the created "root" element. Since <test> is the very first element tag, it's setup as the root element, which you don't need to reference. Changing the alert to alert(xml.data); fixed it.
Now I just feel dumb, lol...

In this article, I will show you guys how to convert videos on windows and mac.
Part 1. How to Convert and Edit Videos on Windows
For Windows users, you need a Video Converter(http://www.aiseesoft.com/total-video-converter.html) to do that for you.
Here I use Aiseesoft Total Video Converter(http://www.aiseesoft.com/total-video-converter.html)

Step 2: Load Video
Click “Add File” to find the video that you want to convert and click “open”. It will be loaded automatically.
Step 3: Select the target to decode
In the “Profile” drop download list you can find your target according the usage of your output video, such as if you want to put the video on your iPod touch, you can select the “iPod” in the first list and “iPod touch 2 MPEG-4 640*480(*.mp4)” in the second list.
Step 4: Set Advanced Parameters
After you select the right output profile, you can click “setting” button to set your advanced parameters. You can adjust video and audio settings separately. In video section, you can change “video encoder”, “resolution”, “frame rate”, “video bitrate”In audio section, you can change “audio encoder”, “sample rate”, “channel”, “audio bitrate”If you want to save this profile and settings and use it next time you can click “save as” button to give a name to it. And the next time you want to use it you can find it in the profile list named “user defined”.
Step 5: Choose a Destination
To browse and find a output folder for your output files or just the default one.
Finally, Click “Convert” button to begin your conversion, here in the converting
interface you can choose “shut down the computer when conversion complete” or “open output folder when conversion complete” or you just do not choose neither one.
Tips: How to Edit the Output Video
This video converter is also a video editor, you can use it to edit your output video as follows:
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/total-video-converter/effect.jpg
1. Effect:
You are allowed to adjust the “Brightness”, “Contrast”, “Saturation” and you can choose the “deinterlacing” to make the video more enjoyable.
2. Trim:
In “Trim” section you can pick up any part of the video to convert.
There are two ways to select the part of the video you want. One is set the start and end time in the box. The other one is to drag the start and end button in the processing bar.
3. Crop:
This function allows you to choose a certain play area to convert. That means you can choose a part of the screen you like to convert. For example, you just like the tv in the middle of the screen, then you can drag the frame around the preview window to select the tv and the output preview will show you the output video.In this section you can also choose the “zoom mode”, such as “keep original”, “full screen”, “16:9”, “4:3”.
4. Watermark
In the section, you can add a watermark on the output video to show people something, such as your name, website, studio name or other things. The watermark could be words and picture. You can adjust the transparent of the watermark easily to make it more beautiful.

Use the Organizer backup & restore method, starting the restore from the TLY file. Probably best to use a custom location as the XP file structure will be different. See this link for further help:

Every time I try to export my movie into a Windows Format from compressor it shrinks the movie to 27 seconds.WHY? HELP

Probably because you have the free version of Flip4MAc from Telestream that limits exported files to 30 seconds or so. There ae several paid versions – depending on your requirements
Good luck.

How do I "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format in After Effects

I was informed that I needed to use After Effects to "mask" or blurr out sections of movie clips saved in windows media format.
I have the movie clip in composition, I see the effects and presets drop box on the lower right.
How do I insert the text blocks to mask certain areas of the movie clip?
Thank you,

How to i convert to .mov format?

Hey guys, I have a lot of .avi and .flv formated videos I need to convert to .mov. I was wondering how exactly now that I bought quicktime pro I would do that? I hope it's not too complicated. Thanks!

All he wants to do is get a MOV container from an FLV, and Save As takes all of two seconds to accomplish. Exporting in Streamclip is not even close to the answer for this chap, (for starters it won't export to MOV) and I use Streamclip for nearly everything.
If he wants a pile of iPod compatible clips I would agree since Streamclip has a batch function in which case then the export to MPEG-4 and an iTunes preset in the batch processor is more efficient.
In fact I bet at some point after they are all MOV files with VP6 and Sorenson or MS MP4 codecs he will discover they won't work where he thought they would (like an iPod) and will come back to ask.

What is most popular apps to converter the movies CD and DVD to all format or to play in my IPAD.

I use DVD Catalyst......not really an "app". You're going to convert your movie on your computer first and then sync it to your iPad.....unless there's some other way to do it that I am unfamiliar with.
