Any editors still awake?

[Masie]

I'm stuck, my new camera makes mov files (because we all love those in PC land) and i'm wanting to edit a video in windows movie maker (I know not the best editor but its free and im away from home so its all I have to hand). I recon it needs to convert to wmv file but now I have maybe done that through a free converter (hense the maybe) movie maker says
'The file C:\Users\Tom\New Folder\MVI_0597.wmv is not indexed and cannot be imported.'

Help please - Love one blond idiot.

Also always about for model work up to b/g as computer clearly is not my thing x

MOV to WMV conversion software is generally pretty poor. I use VisualHub which is OK-ish but I'm not sure if that's even available now.

MOV files are best edited on a Mac (very straightforwardly with iMovie, and iMovie 11 came out this week so it will be interesting to see what it offers).

What's the camera that shoots MOV files?

Hey Babe

I have heard that Picasa (free download from google) is pretty good with video too.

I use it for pics, but not videos. There are loads of instructional things for it too so should be a piece of cake to find out if its any good for conversion or even editing in current format.

The link is:

good luck xx

Honey im on it although will have to put the eye of the tiger on while I do it now. Raughhhhhhh !! x

[BBWHoney]

Lol.... just to help you along with the chorus - altogether now!

It's the eye of the tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the eye of the tiger

I am so fucking sad its unreal! Touch my bad self - yeaaahhh haha!x

No recession here. Shooting more than ever and handing lots of work out.

God damn windows 7 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Masie, would love to help you out. I often use MPEGstreamclip for converting video files. It's a free download.

Yes Windows 7 is great but if your using 64 bit its a nightmare.


I use this one.

Picasa is great Honey it just keeps getting better all the time.

Plus you can watermark with it & batch edit as well.
Need a program to convert to Blu Ray..?


Good luck with it Masie
