One of the additional features gained by upgrading your QuickTime installation to ‘Pro’ (available for both Mac and PC from Apple’s online store for £20 UKP) is the ability to re-save your .MOV files in .3GP format. Why are we telling you this? Because .3GP is the format commonly used by a lot of handsets to play video.
To convert your .MOV files, simply open them in QuickTime Pro, select ‘Export’ under the ‘File’ menu, and then choose the .3GP format. If you feel like getting technical there are tons of advanced options too, but frankly that kind of thing tends to give us a headache. Sorry, dear.
Use Bluetooth or a USB cable to dump the converted .3GP files on your handset, open them with your video player and away you go. We found a 3.2MB .MOV compressed down to just 384KB, which ain’t bad either.
