What software do i need to play movies with HD DvDRiP XViD format?

Converting .mov (QuickTime) files to a format that can be edited on a PC using Windows Movie Maker (WMM)?

  • Converting .mov (QuickTime) files to a format that can be edited on a PC using Windows Movie Maker (WMM)? This might look familiar to some of you because I've kinda already asked this. But, apparently, I wasn't clear in my needs so I am going to try things a little different. I have an Aiptek digital camcorder bought in November of 2010. I believe it is an Aiptek HD-1 since I can't find anything on the Aiptek website that looks exactly like it but it at least has the same features. It has 720p HD recording capacity and has been a great little camera. I have all kinds of movies that I would like to put together for the friends I have made this summer so that they can look back on the fun times in the future. (I'm an intern from across the country.) Here's my problem: The camera ONLY records in .mov, regardless if I do HD (720p) or QVGA (WEB) at 30fps or WVGA (DVD) at 60fps. I record in the HD because it gives me the largest beginning aspect and I know that if you start with more pixels it's better because you're only going to lose them along the way. I've heard that the majority of converters will not only add frames and make your videos choppy but that they will actually try to compress your videos so that they're only good for viewing on a hand-held device. I'm not opposed to this, but I am opposed to being restricted to watching anything on a 3" (Zune) screen. No, I won't own an iPod because I want what's left of my eyesight. Windows Movie Maker for xp does NOT recognize .mov files so I can only watch them in QuickTime. I do NOT have QuickTime Pro and don't know how to use it. I'm also wary of purchasing a $30 product that all it can do is convert. (Which is why I don't have Apple products to begin with. I have a thing against collecting stuff that only has a single use.) I would like it to be free because I'm on a laptop with xp but my computer at home has Windows Vista and I can probably just do the Windows Live Movie Maker from there. But I'm hardpressed to ask an office of 30 people for their personal addresses so that I can work on this and send it to them after I finish. I was hoping to be able to finish this project by the end of the summer (August 6, 2010) to give it to them. I want to go home to edit it in Windows Live Movie Maker which, from what I understand from the interwebs, does allow you to import .mov movie files and edit them. However, I can't use the Live Movie Maker because I do not have Vista on this computer. (Whoever thought that I would be wanting Vista? LOL) I can't get spyware or malware on this computer. It's borrowed and they need it when I get back. I have tried the free version of Prism and it insanely wrecks the picture. Short of having an old-timey video, I would say to stay away from that when trying to do HD. Also, the accompanying free software to edit it doesn't maintain the HD quality-output, either. The software was okay but the free version certainly didn't instill in me that I wanted to pay for it. NCH software was probably cool at one point because it looks like all the capabilities were free, but the freeware they have out now is uninspiring and didn't impress me. I guess it's fine if you're going to use it to put on a Zune or iPod but that's not what I'm doing so I don't need any suggestions related thereto. I tried Handbrake and that was more fail and facepalm than I would care to explain. For those of you who are not up to date on your Handbrake, it no longer does AVI so it's useless to me. Please don't suggest that I didn't spend the better part of four hours of my life that I will never retrieve trying to follow suggestions on how to use Handbrake to get my .mov to a .avi so that I can make it a .wmv because it doesn't. IT DOESN'T DO IT ANYMORE...at least in the free version. I don't know if there is a paid version but if there is, the free one didn't inspire me. I didn't keep up with movie editing while in college and I don't know my way around media files or their formats and I don't understand codecs other than to say that I understand they help decode the file. Don't want to know computer language just to convert a file. I am aware that WMM DOESN'T play .mov. I had thought I had projected a pretty good grasp on Apple using .mov as a proprietary move for having people download and buy QuickTime Pro but apparently I didn't. Windows does not equal Apple. The reverse is also true. I'm not asking to put .mov directly into WMM because you can't do that on an OS before Vista. I am saying, though, that I need help getting it out of Apple territory without losing too many pixels and into Windows. I am computer literate enough to know that changing the file name extension isn't a viable idea. It didn't work 18 years ago when I st
