I want to convert .mov to .mp4! I saved the video from iMovie but it is in .mov format! How do I convert it to .mp4?
I'm using a MacBook and I want to share it to my phone, but my phone can't open .mov format video.

You could do that with ffmpeg:
ffmpeg -i video.mov -vcodec copy -acodec copy video.mp4
This will just change containers, but obviously will only work with a codec that ffmpeg supports.
Edit: if you absolutely need a GUI, you could use Automator to create a Drag & Drop target, like this:
You may try MPEG StreamClip also. There is Batch mode — cmd+b
But it's hard to tell based on your information why Handbrake was not able to help you.

I personally find using
ffmpegshell program (available through Brew usingbrew install ffmpeg) the most convenient way to do the conversions.It includes tons of options for nearly any single thing you could possibly do with a movie.
In your case though, for a conversion, you can simply type:
ffmpeg -i /path/to/input/file /path/to/output.mp4The
.mp4extension in the output path serves as a cue for the program to do the proper conversion -- no more options are necessary.
