so, you HAVE already a .mp4?
Then is the question: why is the stubborn school PC not playing it?
h264 inside a mp4 is THE universal format, since the invention of YouTube...
The User Tipp is just meant for files as mov, m4v, etc...
All these 3-letter suffcies are just 'wrappers'; in the Windows world is some dislike of mov (= you need a cost-free plugin to handle mov on PC)
Maybe, these school computers are antique; ask the teacher, what OS is on the PCs, and what format the video should have. Macs deliver standard conform files; and you can convert into almost anything.. we just have to find out into what...
… and now to something completely different:
How does your daughter deliver the movie? On a stick? … then check in Finder the format of the stick! If it is hfs/'Mac', a PC can not read it. PC ask for fat32 or, newer ones, ntsf.
