Convert Your Bloated Apple QuickTime .MOV videos to H264 .MP4 with ffmpeg Everybody knows that Apple QuickTime is an outdated and bloated video format that requires extra codecs to play on Windows 7 and 10, plus you need Apple Itunes or Apple QuickTime to play it back.  On Windows 7 and 10, you also need VLC media player or the codec pack to play it back with Windows Media player.  It's so bloated that a 3 minute video can easily fill up 1 GB of disk space.  Plus native QuickTime can easily fill up your icloud account.  Furthermore, it's an outdated format that will soon be obsolete.
