Like many people both the wife and I have accumulated a large number of videos on our iPhones from recording the kids etc.
So to free up space on the phones and make them viewable via other means (on home media centre) I normally just copy them off using ImageCapture and drop the raw .MOV files into yearly folders with creation date based filenames.
Simple and effective however a couple of drawbacks:-
1) If a portrait video has been captured is plays back on it's side from within Windows (our home media setup is Emby on Windows).
2) File size, as these are the raw MOVs they aren't small, I'm not hugely worried about storage space but streaming/transcoding them to other family members remotely is an overhead.
So ideally looking for a good bit of software that can pull the videos, convert them to say MP4, retain correct rotation and if possible output the file with the original creation date, any suggestions?
Also aware of iMovie and whilst great for actual video editing I'm not keen on how it manages your raw data especially for these simple few second clips.
