I dont know. What do you think I should use? This is my first video so thanks for the help you giving me.


If you have windows movie maker on your computer use it, I need more info from you, do you have the clip on your computer already? Tell me where you are at in the process.

I have the clip on my computer already, I want to change it from a .MOV video file into a .WMV file. I have windows media encoder and when i try to convert it it tells me that it cant find all the codecs. I tried to use movie maker but it cant support a .MOV video file.

You will need to down load guicktime as well as installing windows media format runtime, www.riverpast.com. That should help you convert from quicktime to windows media format.


I have quicktime and windows media format runtime. What should I download on riverpast? I dont want to spend much money. Could I use windows media encoder to convert?



I dont know a lot about this but a Mov file seems to be a quick time file. It may be better to back up and punt.
It seems you created a mov. file out of your video so why change to mov file at all.
Start from the beginning but change to a file that you can work with.
I believe once you save to file from editing then keep changing you will loose vid quality.
From editing I save to av file then use windows media encoder.
I dont know much about this but if you must change a mov. file try this

It seems to be a free trial.........I hope this helps .....Lee S.W.A.T.

I uploaded the video to my computer from my digital camera and it was a .mov file or quick time file right away. I tried to upload to huntingfootage but it never showed up. The avs4you works but it leaves a watermark in the middle of the video, I try differnt sites to see if I can find one. Thanks for all of your help

If you are in WMM and you have your 1394 firewire connected to your computer, then plug it into your camera, turn it on, the comp will find your camera and the you can capture the video. What type of video camera?

I think movie maker is my only choice. When I got to movie maker i click on capture from video device and then a messege comes up that says A video capture divice was not detected, Varify that the divice is on and is connected properly.

I dont think I installed the driver, ill try that. Thanks for all your help.

If your camera is an HD camera, WMM will not work, you will need vegas or better. Trouble shoot through panasonic website and MMM website.

Im not sure about a camera, but it sounds like it captures in that file so you can view in quick time.
WMM is a good progran but may not have the features you need.
You can try this 15 day trial verson of nero 7. It has many features.

Is that camera PAL or NTSC............I don't think WMM will support PAL........try a free trial of either pinnacle studio 10.6 or Nero..........either of these programs will support all formats even Hi Def.

Good luck!

I just looked up your camera................it is a still camera that uses a memory card for video ,correct...............this is very likely your problem.........it is not capturing through firewire ,but a usb port............I don't think any of these trial downloads will help you either,you'll just have to keep it in the mov. format..........I think,I however am not a video techics pro...........so maybe I'm wrong.
