i wrote myself a program that converts some formats into avi and that helps alot. But the best thing to do is download a converter

I agree with James and you. I hate when camera companies do that. Most of the time, my friends have to do something that’s expensive to convert their video into another format

No offense taken. It is difficult to say exactly what you mean in less than 500 characters – unless of course you resort to text messaging format (ugh!). :)

And of course, it’s difficult to know how a person is responding by the sound of text. :D

Sorry I didnt mean my comment to sound as though I was talking down to you. Tried to throw my 2 cents out as advice. I do understand the frustration of “compatibility issues”. I’ve had many “learning” experiences with codecs, file formats, filters, etc. etc. etc.

I did, and then had some compatibility issues. I gave up after installing and uninstalling the fourth converter.

No prob, though. I did get more for my money on this particular software and it was the only other software I paid for. It’s certainly a step up from windows without breaking the bank.

BTW- the majority of software on my computer was either pre-installed or open source. The video software was only 1 of 2 I personally paid for.

Interesting as it may be that the manufacturers need to supply their own software, it doesn’t apply to people like me. I have yet to run across a camera, or camcorder that either iMovie or iPhoto doesn’t immediately import. I love Macs.

If you had looked around the internet(Google = .mov to .avi) you couldve found freeware.

My digital camera records in .mov. It’s okay, except Io had to pay $55 for software to edit it, since Windows Movie Maker won’t accept that format.
