I’ve been trying to convert a .mov file from my dad’s HD camcorder to a format that I can edit using Windows Movie Maker. This is a very complicated process that has seen me working for two solid days now downloading and installing a converter program, testing it, uninstalling and searching for another one. Each time I went through that it was several HOURS of my computer being tied up to the point I could not do any other work with it.
So, what did I discover to be unsuitable for one reason or another? A small sampling of the failed converters:
- CraziVideo
- Media Coder
- Screen Edit 1080
- Handbrake
And the one that finally succeeded? Any Video Converter. YAY! It worked beautifully for me! I just finished conversion of the first video in a series I am making for a painting I am working on. I’ll get it uploaded onto YouTube later.
