.mov videos don't work in Vista, can't convert
I have to agree with the original post. MS simply needs to make Movie Maker work with .MOV files. Canon cameras have now made the switch as well, to .MOV formats for their new cameras. I paid a good price for the new Canon SX1-IS, which is an incredible still camera, and an even better HD video camera. I have been using Movie Maker since it first came out, I love the user friendly layout, and have made some really good home movies with it. But now, I am forced to find, and learn something else if I want my new HD movies to look good and work. It is my understanding that while it is possible to convert a .MOV file into something that Movie Maker will understand. The converting itself lessens the quality of the video picture. Which makes buying an HD camera kinda pointless. And, who has time to go through an extra step in a different program, before actually getting to movie maker. Not me. Come on Microsoft, If every other editing program out there can work with .MOV, Then surely you are smart enough to make it work with Movie Maker. -- megasuperchief |

.mov videos don't work in Vista, can't convert
They did but they don't now - now there are frustrated people who say they
don't work in Windows Live Movie Maker when they do. Must go. Ihear the tea lady. -- There are no foolish questions; only fools who don''t ask them.

My HPm7750n Vista Hm Premium OS w/media cntr pkg (WMP, WMC, NVIDIA 6150LE, WMM 6.0.6, Muvee Autoproducer 5.0, Creator Basic V9-Roxio) all totally useless pieces of junk for videos because none use .mov files and Vista can't convert. I googled, read many forums incl. this 1 & find 1000s of users have same problem. So far, no successful solution. Some claim to have codecs, updates, other fixes but downloaders all complain of buffer overruns, lost audio, poor quality, or just don't work in Vista, incl. Creator V10. Microsoft needs to bite the Apple (bullet) & make a deal with Quicktime to get a conversion program that WORKS in Vista as "fix" so we can use this over-priced, ego-inflated, misrepresented OS to "Access your music, videos and photos" as it claims on the front of my PC. I feel like I was scammed by ads and salesmen when I bought PC last year. Anybody else out there interested in complaining on every forum possible to get Microsoft moving on a solution? Is MS already working on this? I just want to be able to make movies and use the features I paid lots of money for! ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
