Unable to play video from email on my idevices

Im not sure why the videos won't play on your iPhone, doesn't really make sense because you say that they were taken on an iPhone. They should be compatible and play without issue. On your computer, you should be able to right click the attachment in your email and get a save option. I will add that using email to transfer videos does usually place some limitations on sending the files as most email accounts impose size limitations and videos can easily exceed those limits if they are very long. Better options would be to upload to a cloud service such as Dropbox and send a link via email. Or better yet, since you both are on iPhones, just set up a shared photo stream. Just add the videos or pictures to the shared stream. From there you can view them, save them to your device, transfer to your computer - all with relative ease. I use shared streams constantly with other family members on iPhones, works great. Here's a link that offers additional info on shared streams and how to set one up.

In my email it says "Sent from my Iphone" and it's title IMG_001.MOV.mov

If that's how the files are showing up, it is coming in to you with two file extensions (.MOV.mov) there should only be one ".MOV" That's probably why you are having issues opening the file.

I don't know what he may be doing to cause it to occur or if it's something within his or your email client that may be causing it. On your end the only way to resolve it is to download on your computer and chose to rename the file and remove the added file extension. On your iPhone or iPad you can't easily rename it. The simplest method I know using an iPhone or iPad is to upload the file into Dropbox, there you have the ability to rename a file within the app and then save it back to your device after renaming (removing the added file extension).
