how do i convert videos recorded to quicktime  .mov to windows mpeg format?
my camera records in quicktime.i would like to save them to be played in my home dvd.
i am using nero to create dvd video but unable to import in .mov format.

Quicktime Pro $30

Or, since it seems like you are Windows there are probably a ton of utilities to convert for you.

As always, Google is your friend...

Transcoding (what you want to do) can get ugly - just a word of warning.

MPEG is not 'Windows'. MPEG = Moving Pictures Experts Group, and NOT Microsoft.

What do you want?
>MPEG1
>MPEG2
>MPEG4
>Windows Media Player format

If you want the Windows Format, that can be played over the internet, then try Microsoft Movie Maker 2 (its free). Not 100% on the .mov conversion

If you want MPEG 1, then try the free version of TMPGnc (sp.) encoder

If you want MPEG 2 (what you play in a DVD player), then I would suggest the pay version of TMPGnc

   

i need to play a quicktime video in windows  player.i thought mpeg was the file type window used.

media player will play mpegs
tmpgenc will do it. might need a plugin to go from mov to mpg
