.mov converting

[TobiasDaneels]

Hello everyone.
I made a little movie with my digital camera.
Before I want to put it on youtube, I wanted to add some music with windows movie maker, but it doesn't seem to recognise the file. It's a .mov file.

I downloaded a movieconverter and converted the movie but it didn't work.
Only the converted .avi is playable but it's only sounds, and no images.

Can somebody help me please, I'm not an expert in movie making and stuff.

Thanks.

Yeah I know this problem. Everytime I need to convert some stuff I have to try several free tools to finally get it done. Maybe prism video converter or my favourite tool "Virtual Dub" can do it. Otherwise I think you should just try to install a few of these: http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=mov+to+avi+converter&btnG=Suche&meta=

Did you mean to write that, or is there a "not" missing?

I use Prism. At least the .wmv files it can produce should definitely work in WMM.

Thanks mate, Prism worked like a charm.


@Stefan: indeed, one not missing

Even though you already have a solution, you might also want to look into ffmpeg, which is what Lucas directed me towards one time.

More solutions can't hurt, right?

I don't know exactly but I think VirtualDub-MOD allready has all the functions of ffmpeg.

Free 3GP video converter. From DVDvideosoft. They have a bunch of other things like a Youtube downloader. Those are mainly for iPod and etc.

I would like to make a question here so I didn't have to open a new thread.
I can only record myself with the camera that is built in my laptop, so I cannot display any timer (I dont have a stackmat, and using my cellphone is not a good idea). How can I add a timer to my videos in WMM (or any other freeware)
Thanks.

use AVC. Any video converter. Best software out there.

That's the good thing about Vegas, it takes a lot of different formats Movie Maker just was annoying when it came to that.

I tried that one to.
It didn't work for me.
Converted in .Avi it only gave me sound.

Video Impression 2
(crappy program) does convert .mov files.

Do one-handed and count with the fingers of the other hand.
