I wanted to watch my iPhone videos on the TV, but neither my TV nor my PS4 can handle MOV files.

What shoud that? Do I have to convert all videos individually into MP4, so that I can play it? Why is this so complicated? On stupid iPhone you can't change the format synonymous.

Then transfer the MOV files to your PC and convert them to MP4 format.

Ha

MOV are MP4. Simply rename the extension. Does not that help you have to convert it, yes. Is still afloat with today's PC.

Why is this so complicated?

Yes, a legitimate question.

Sometimes simply renaming the file extension from .mov to .mp4 is sufficient to be able to play the video as MP4.

You can try that, but it does not always work that way.

Gi

MOV are MP4.

Nope, that is unfortunately a false statement!

Gi

Yes, yes, I know everything!

Nevertheless, the MOV container may contain video streams that are NOT MP4 compliant.

At the latest then the renaming does not work anymore.

Therefore your strict statement is also wrong.
