Can't play video taken with iPad, sent by email

I've taken a video with my iPad 2, V6.0. I've tried attaching it to an email to send to myself, because people say they can't open any of the videos I send them. They're right! I can't either. The thumnail shows the video on my PC--windows 7 (64), but only audio plays, not any video. I've tried both Realplayer & Quicktime. Both the same result.

In a similar vein.....why are our pictures turned sideways when people receive them in their email??

Thanks for reading. Thanks for answers!

iPad, iOS 5.0.1

Pamela,

There is a compatibility issue between QuickTime 7.7.2 in Windows and iOS 6-emailed videos.

it's the combination of all three of the above underlined items.

also see: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4345016

or CoachMyVideo.com for an alternative: http://www.coachmyvideo.mobi/#!ios6/c13th

the sideways pictures has to do with whether or not the recepient's viewer can read the rotation matrix --> the information about what orientation the iOS device was in when it was recorded.
