Editing Movie Files

Don Schaeffer · Jun 8, 2006

I have begun expermenting with making little film clips with my Z740. It produces .mov files usually show using Apple Quicktime. In one case I had a very nice atmospheric capture of the sounds and images in Union Station. But I bungled the last few seconds of the clip. I'd love to be able to cut the last fes seconds but can't find any software to enable editing the .mov files. Does anyone know where i can get a small film editor for .mov files?

Not much of an solution here, but i also wanted to edit my .mov files in Powerproducer. But PP doesn't recognize movfiles. Now I am looking for a program that will convert mvfiles into mpeg's so i can edit them in powerproducer.

Use Kodak Easyshare that came with camera.

I hate Mov files. I spent all day yesterday downloading programs trying to ind one that would put them on DVD and also to convert to AVI. Did'nt find any that was any good.

Check this site out. I find that it converts .MOV to .AVI in a hurry.

This is the best info I've ever received. The speed and ease are astounding. To think I have been downloading with dialup 4,5,7 mb files that don't work.
Whoever developed this is a genius, IMO

John,

What has to be downlaoded here and in what folders?

Thanks Dave.

It turns out my problem is that I'm using Windows ME. The codec is not compatible with my system.

Here is another program that I've used to convert movie files taken with my Z740 from .mov to other formats, including DVD.

Thanks HCA. This software also requires XP or Winodws 2000. I think I'm stuck. All I want to do is cut a little bit off of the .mov file.

Why can't you use Easyshare to trim it?

You may try using MS Windows Media Encoder 9.

It is free and it can convert .mov to .wmv which can be played in any MS Windows based PC.

You can also save it as an AVI file from EasyShare but it does not look nearly as good in that format.

Don Schaeffer · Jun 12, 2006

Thanks Balance. Is that in XP? I'm using Windows ME.

Please search WME9 in http://www.microsoft.com .
You may find out a version suitable for ME.

It will edit Quicktime file. I really don't like Quicktime (and their files). It was almost a deal-breaker with me. That's one thing I like about my Canon S1 (and other Canon cameras) is that they save movie files as AVI (motion jpeg). I could edit those with Windows Movie Maker.

I agree about the Canon movies. I am almost ready to buy back the Canon I sold to a friend just to have those movies.

In the opposite, I like Kodak's MPEG4 which is three to four times smaller in size but of the same video quality. MotionJPEG is an outdated technology.

I can edit/join/separate any .mov or .mp4 files very very efficiently and easily and make them into a DVD-R and let them play in DVD players.

I use Ulead Movie Factory 3 and QuicktimePro7.

I can also use WME9 to convert any .mov file to .wmv formats and let them play in any computers.

I won't suggest anyone to adopt motionJPEG for their video chips keeping.

Just for your information.
