How to record videos in MP4 format in iPhone 15?

My iPhone 15 will ONLY record in MOV format -- even if I check the "most compatible" box under, "Formats." These MOV files will not play in Windows Media Player, and will not even convert to MP4 using converter software. Apple: HOW CAN WE RECORD IN MP4, LIKE THE REST OF PLANET EARTH?

Saving Videos to MP4 Format:

Make this the default option. Change it back, when need be...

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: your name
  3. Tap: Camera
  4. Choose: Format
  5. Select:'Most Compatible (instead of High Efficiency)
  6. All recorded videos will now be saved in MP4 format, instead of MOV format.
