I-Phone SE 2020 ---- video recording format

Hello,

I recorded a series of videos on my phone and most were recorded in .mp4 format.

However, 2 videos were recorded in .mov format.

My preference is for .mp4 and I'm not sure how / why the 2 were recorded this way.

1) Can you please explain so that this does not happen again?

2) Can you recommend an easy way to convert from .mov to .mp4 if I'm on PC? I tried to download Quicktime for my PC (Windows 10) but it didn't work.

Thank you in advance!

iPhone SE, iOS 13

Know it here --> Using HEIF or HEVC media on Apple devices - Apple Support

An extract from the above article

"On some older devices, support for HEVC is affected by the resolution and frame rate (fps) of the video. Resolutions of 1080p or lower and frame rates of 60 fps or lower are more broadly compatible with older devices. To reduce the resolution and frame rate that your capture device uses for recording video, go to Settings > Camera > Record Video, as well as Settings > Camera > Record Slo-mo. "

Older devices? But my I-Phone is the I-Phone SE Next Gen......the one that was released in 2020 (this year). I just bought it last week.
