There are a number video transcoders that you could use to covert mov files to different formats suitable for uploading. Handbrake is a popular one that has both a GUI and command-line version (handbrake-gtk or handbrake-cli). To use Handbreak on Ubuntu, you need to add a PPA:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~handbrake-ubuntu/+archive/ppa or the more current https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/ubuntu/handbrake-releases
I personally like, transmageddon which is a GUI app with nice simple pre-sets. It's available in the archives.
Another option is arista, another GUI transcoder available in the archives. In fact, it is a "Featured Application" in Ubuntu Software Center.
ffmpeg is another command line option that offers a lot of flexibility but can be a bit complex.
You Tube made changes and that broke Minitube. Minitube has been updated. OMG! Ubuntu has the article.
