When ever I make a video with my digital camera it automaticaly saves it as a quicktime movie. But lots of programs don't support quicktime. And I can't figure out how to save it as something diffrent. 20 credits to the first one to figure it out this is the video http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f269/com...nt=100_1083.flv please read all postss before replying.
(I presume you mean you want to convert a QuickTime file (extension .mov or .qt) into a Windows Media file (extension .asf or .wmv)) 1. You should check the QuickTime file’s codec. Open the file in QuickTime, click movie, then choose 'get movie properties'. On the left drop-down menu choose video track. On the right drop-down menu choose format. The codec is listed on the 'data format' line. If it’s a cross-platform codec like Indeo or Cinepak (meaning it can be in either a QuickTime or avi container) then go to step 3. If it’s a QuickTime-only codec (like Sorenson or 'video'), then go to step 2. 2. If it’s a QuickTime-only codec the conversion has to be in two steps. You have to convert it to an avi first, then you can convert it to Windows Media. Your two options are to use QuickTime Pro ($30 from Apple) or Rad Video Tools (free). From some of the posts on the board, it appears Rad sometimes has glitches converting audio; if that happens to you then just get QuickTime Pro. When doing your conversion to avi, I advise choosing a lossless codec or no compression, so that there is no loss in quality. (The avi file may be big though). 3. If you’re from step 1, just feed the QuickTime file into Windows Media Encoder; if you’re from step 2, feed the intermediate avi into Windows Media Encoder. Then just encode! If you have Windows XP you can substitute Windows Media Encoder with Windows Movie Maker, but you won’t get as many options.

Also if you want to play with older asf/wmv codecs you can get Windows Media Encoder 7 at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en or the older Netshow Tools (google for nstools.exe - Microsoft doesn’t carry it on their site anymore) this answer was copied from an anonymous person at http://www.moviecodec.com/topics/4026p1.html just giving credit where do
