They are saved in .3g2 format. If you have Quicktime player, you should be able to view them with that. I'm not sure what other players will play it.

They are "almost" MPEG-4 "3g2" format. Quicktime can play them, so it's not entirely bad. But it's only Quicktime 6.5 and you can only really rely on having Quicktime somewhere in the range of 3-4 on your average person's computer.
Still, ticks me off. I did some preliminary investigations and I think that it's possible to write a 3g2 -> mp4 transcoder. The only thing it'll risk messing up is the audio, which is really the main thing that makes a 3g2 file NOT MPEG-4 compliant.
