MOV files from an iPhone or Mac often will not play on Windows, Android, or smart TVs.

MOV to MP4
Turn an iPhone or Mac .mov into an .mp4 that plays anywhere. Most MOV files already hold H.264 or HEVC video, so they are repackaged in seconds rather than re-encoded.
It checks the codecs first and only re-encodes when it has to.

Quick tips
MOV to MP4 tips
A repackage keeps the file the same size; it is the container that changes.
ProRes MOVs from cameras are re-encoded to H.264, which takes longer but plays everywhere.
To also make it smaller, use Compress in the Video Editor afterwards.
FAQ
MOV to MP4 questions
Will I lose quality?
Not when repackaging: the video and sound are copied across untouched. Only a re-encode loses anything.
Why is it so fast?
MOV and MP4 are close relatives. When the codecs already fit, the streams are moved, not processed.
Does it keep iPhone HEVC video?
HEVC is copied into the MP4 as it is, tagged so Apple devices play it. Older Windows PCs may need a free HEVC codec to view it.
