Quicktime to mpeg/windows media

i’m still having trouble with this, the only programs i can seem to find all cost too much money. I want to convert the files from my digital camera, .mov to something i can use with windows movie maker. I can’t justify spending AUD $50 to edit silly vids i make with my friends. I tried RADtools but can’t figure out how to use it... I think it may be the only actual free program though. help please!

whenever i click my videos to play them they pop up with quicktime and i don’t want them to do that. i like to edit videos 'n such on Windows Movie Maker but it doesn’t allow quicktime. so i need a way to either convert the quicktime videos to something else or find a way to get them to work on Windows Movie Maker. any suggestions????

QT does not allow editing, even if you purchase “Pro” you still have very little control. WMM allows for MUCH more freedom when editing.

When downloading “free” converters, beware of unremovable banners that will block your entire image and spyware.

how do you change a windows media player file in to a quicktime

Quicktime sucks! As do most Mac apps. You can’t use it with anything but the inferior Mac crap.

Why is it on every forum I visit, for every question asked, there’s some dumbf**k who sarcastically asks “Why would you want/do/buy that?" or “Google is your friend."...

Is it too much to ask that one give a direct answer to a direct question? There was ABSOLUTLY *NO* reason for the original poster “post more information about your request in the first instance” as snidely suggested. They asked a simple question and should have a reasonable expectation of a simple answer.

EXAMPLE:
“How much are the apples?" "$2.00 a pound."
as opposed to
“How much are the apples?" “Why would you want apples? Bananas are a far superior fruit and should always be chosen over apples. If you really *think* you want apples, then you should explain your specific rational for choosing them over another fruit before asking such a question!"

Ok, I’ve downloaded tmpgenc but what do i do with the plugin?

I have tried RadVideo Tools, don’t get it. Even though its really popular, it takes away the sound, and when you change the setting to not take away the sound, it has horrible quality. Also, if you pick one video out of a series you took on one day, it strings them all together and messes them up. Not to mention if the video is over 2 minutes it takes about an hour. Why cant we just get simple software that converts Quicktime to files that are compatible to windows movie maker? It’s not that complicated, and if you ask me people shouldn’t be asking money for it, windows movie maker should make an update or something because people rarely use it due to the file format it requires.

If you are using Mac OS X, then you should try

Hahahahahaa, you jackass, he just asked how to convert and you made him tell his whole life story, why not just answer the question and move on and not ask why? You are the one making the post longer than it needs to be!!!

for conversions the best thing is http://www.zamzar.com/
it converts things then emails them to you. and...
ITS REALLY SIMPLE!!!

I just wasted $30 on Quicktime Pro. I’ve written to Apple requesting a refund and I know how that’ll turn out. Converting a 5-minute .mov file to .avi took forever (probably over 30 minutes) and the resulting quality was TERRIBLE! DO NOT waste your money on any of these products. Until MS gets their head out of their arse and upgrades Windows Movie Maker to support .mov files there’s not much we can do.

wow what a douche! how about not being so anal! LOL
