how do you make an .mov output

It looks like the only recording file types are AVCHD and MP4. You would have to convert one of these file types to .mov

24p is recorded in standard AVCHD, so I would guess that you wouldn't have a problem there. To be clear I haven't gotten one yet (will buy next week), but I don't expect to have a problem with the lower settings on my Mac Mini even. But again, I'm just speculating. You could try looking for sample footage on Vimeo, that's what I've done; many people have posted the raw .mts files there, and you can DL them if you get a free membership.

it's very usable and you can select for HD screen ratio 16:9 or standard 4:3. The .mov file will have to be converted to something else if you plan on using the video in Studio and mixing it with non .mov file editing. It's a still camera with great video at hand if you need it.

It is in .mov Picture is .jpg The mov annoys me somewhat, but it is a $25 camera so I can not complain too much.

I have this camera and a few other Panasonic models. I found a freeware video converting program and works nicely for converting from mov. It is called Quick Media Converter. Just search for the title and download it. The version 3.6.5 fixed a few bugs. I usually convert to a wmv file. You can use either an easy or advanced mode that allows for file size and quality.

Yes, I haven't played with that much, but have made some videos, saves them in the .wmv format to a folder in the lifecam software. You can choose several different resolutions.

I have a JVC mg555, and I just changed a vid file ext to .mpg.WMM imports it, but is not reading the video part only audio. Weird. I am still working on it.

The raw footage is in .mts, I use Handbrake (free software) to convert the files into the type that I want. Not a big hassle, I am guessing that the raw files are in a .mts format as it is uncompressed.

Windows Media Player plays .mov, you probably just need to download the most recent version. It's Apple Quicktime format fyi.

I'm sorry, I dont know the answer to that question. I only used the toslink in/out function.

buy the cinema display here on Amazon. I don't think there is any other way too do it...ahh! You could also use the mini VGA port adapter. VGA port is below your audio output jack.

Joe,I used handbrake and converted my files to .avi format. Much larger file but the unit required .avi.

Video Studio Pro XP cannot handle .mov files. You can use AVS Video Converter to convert the file to an .mpg format.

It sounds like you need to just get a converter box that'll convert one to or from the other. They're usually available from most electronics/video stores.

Jacqueline, Search SDCopy. It is a free piece of software that will convert the .MOD files to mpg, and also set the flag for 16:9 aspect ratio which is widescreen, then it will play correctly. Mark

Thanks for the great information. How do you know which files to convert off your camera (when using without iMovie). The files I see are .MOD, .MOI, and .PGI. Thanks for the help!
