pocobueno1388 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I am looking for a free .MOV converter. I have searched all over the web for a *FREE* one, but I am having no luck. I would just like to make some videos in windows movie maker, but my camcorder only outputs files in .MOV format. Any suggestions would be great, thanks.I know this topic has nothing to do with PHPfreaks, but I didn't know where else to ask.

pocobueno1388 Posted September 17, 2006 Author Share Posted September 17, 2006 I guess you don't understand. I have found many many results off google. I can't find a converter that you can download for free and have forever. All the ones I have found you can only download the trial version, and on those it restricts you so much that you can't even do a transfer. I have looked through page after page of websites, but every single one of them has a cost on their converters.

redbullmarky Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 $20 or whatever is probably not such a bad thing, considering its use to you and the fact that you want it for life.either way, i did another google search: [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=open+source+converter+mov+wmv]http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=open+source+converter+mov+wmv[/url]and came up with: [url=http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33380]http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33380[/url]and[url=http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Encoders-Converter-DIVX-Related/MediaCoder.shtml]http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Encoders-Converter-DIVX-Related/MediaCoder.shtml[/url]which is free (GPL) by the looks of thingshope that helps Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/21008-i-need-a-converter/#findComment-93559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
