Every time I do a screen recording, I have to go trough the hassle of converting the video to MP4 on my Apple computer.

Even my iPhone can export to MP4 so I there is no reason for it not to work on my computer.

Come on Apple, please fix this super annoying business crap from the past when you tried to increase QuickTime installs on Microsoft machines by enforcing this now ancient format.

Just get over it.
