Are you absolutely positive your coworker isn't doing anything in between? If you have set your camera to be most compatible it is saving in a mp4 codec, just into a .mov container which is standard for Apple. Simple renaming the file extension as suggested by MrHoffman might work. If not, there are free utilities which will repackage the video elements into a different format.
