This is kind of like a survey. When I was looking for cameras, I was disappointed that most of them now-a-days seem to make MOV files. MOV files need quicktime to play :( Quicktime tends to screw up my computer :( My company makes us uninstal Quicktime all the time :( MOV files can't be dragged into Windows Movie Maker (well maybe they would if I had Quicktime)
My current camera makes MPGs. MPGs work in windows media player, MPGs upload to other websites just fine. MPGs work wit Movie Maker.
So what file does your camera make? And do you have options? And does any tech geek know why camera makers would choose MOV files over MPG files? Maybe there's some reason I just don't know.
All I know right now is I can't open the grad video my cousin sent from her camera until I download and install quicktime. And I know that a week from now the help desk will be calling me to uninstall it so I might as well wait and do it at home. If it was an MPG it would be fine. I'm just confused!!
