Episode #138
I took some videos on my Digital Camera and downloaded to PC. It is a .mov file. Never seen this before. Video perfect however cant seem to burn onto a DVD or disc. No program supports it. I have tried Nero, Clone DVD, Shrink DVD, DVD Decrypter. Have copies of file on my computer but cant get it onto DVD to give to friends. Do you know of any program I can use to copy .mov files or if I can convert to Mgep or MP4 etc.

.MOV files are QuickTime files and very common, not just on digital cameras but all over the Internet. Your first step is to install QuickTime - Apple’s .MOV player. You might even want to pay $30 for QuickTime Pro - it will convert your files into any format, including the AVI files your Windows software expects.
