I think you've asked this before.

Install ffmpeg and open a terminal in the same directory that you have your
video.

Figure out what codec you want to use

ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vcodec something -acodec something newvideo.avi (or
whatever format)

(It might be useful to know what codecs Windows 95 can understand, you
should probably research that yourself.)
