What is the difference between these digital camera formats?

Camera and movie formats?

  • I'm no tech whiz, but I am a youtuber. www.youtube.com/user/musicmaaad I currently have a camera that is good quality, I put it into my laptop, which is Dell, and the movies are in quicktime format. (have ".mov" after the name). Now I know that this setting of what format the camera records in is internally programmed in the camera and cannot be changed, and I also know that quicktime movies are impossible to work with and edit for most laptops! I do have several programs to change the format when the film is on the laptop, but this reduces the quality GREATLY and makes them blurry and pixelly and bleh. The ideal video format for editing and working with on my laptop and most others is Windows Format (has ".avi" after the movie name). I was wondering if anybody has or knows of a camera that records in this format! Usually if one camera with the same brand name does, all others will. So if you know the name of a camera brand or even a specific camera model, all would be really helpful :) thanks in advance from Ireland, Orla

  • Answer:

    Why not just download quicktime player? If you are feeling really clever get the quicktime pro license. Hey presto you can export in other formats and do simple editing.
