Solve : Not sure.?

Answer»

Ok I would of searched but am not sure what exactly to "search" for.

I took some small VIDS and then uploaded them to my PC. When I opened windows movie maker and tried to "import" them to edit , I got this message :

The file C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Owner\Desktop\crushed by bug.MOV is not a supported file type, and it cannot be IMPORTED into Windows Movie Maker.

I have uploaded other vids from my other camera and never got this. Mu old camera is a Fuji E510 5.2 mega pixels and uses a xD card.

My new camera is a Kodak 12X IS and uses the SD card .

Is there a way to convert the vid to the option that it lists ( .MOV) ? Anyone? Windows Movie Maker doesn't SUPPORT the MOV file format.
How are you upload the movies to your pc?Quote from: michaewlewis on January 17, 2008, 05:48:01 PM

Windows Movie Maker doesn't support the MOV file format.
How are you upload the movies to your pc?

I just place the memery card in the SD slot and choose to save to a file on my desktop. Then I click and drag the icons to my desktop. *.MOV are Apple QuickTime files. You'll either have to Google a .MOV to .WMV converter, or see if your camera can save files in a different format. QuickTime Pro can probably convert it, but it'll COST you money.Windows Movie Maker has the capability to "import" movies directly from the camera. If your camera and computer have firewire CONNECTIONS, use those instead of simply copying files off your sd card.Quote from: Tiberian Fiend on January 17, 2008, 11:03:22 PM

So your saying to just do a google search and try and find a converter , or use the quick time one and pay ?

Either one sounds fine thanks Quote from: michaewlewis on January 18, 2008, 09:53:39 AM

Well in regards to that I have the wire that goes from the camera to the USB port on the PC. Never did that transfer before though . Give that a try. Windows Movie Maker should be able to handle that. Also check out the movie maker website at microsoft.com
