Help, converting video filetype

7055 · 09-23-2008, 05:09 PM

I've never been able to figure out how to do this. I want to modify my Kodak easyshare c613 digicam videos with windows movie maker. Problem is Windows Movie Maker doesn't accept whatever format my Kodak camera puts them in. I can't even figure out what filetype they are. I clicked on properties and the most I can find out is "quick time movie" which is what it says under filetype.

From what I can see the formats that WMM accepts are .avi .mpg .m1v .mp2 .mp2v and .mpeg So I'd need to convert it to one of those.

Looks like you need something like this.... http://www.imtoo.com/mov-converter.html

or maybe your camera has a setting in it to film in a different format.

Which one would I need to download? I clicked on the downloads tabs and there are hundreds of options. I finally figured out that my digicam videos are in .mpeg4

Word on that ^

Kodak gives a .mov file.
No wonder you couldnt get it in wmm

Convert it to wmv or mpg.

For converting, use a xilisoft video converter.
