We had a party last night and a couple of bands played so my friend decided to take it all on video with his digital camera. Okay, so what, crappy movie quality and crappy sound quality but at least there's some documentary material of it. Now he imported the video to his computer and send it to me, it's in .mov format. And I'm now trying to convert it to something else because I use VirtualDub for editing and it doesn't support .mov.

So first I tried with WinMPG Video Converter but since it didn't work so well (mainly because the video had green stripes in it, I have the trial version) I decided to try out RAD Video Tools. But now I'm getting an error that the sound is missing!

What to do? Is there another good program I could try out? I'm not very good at this yet, I'm just starting to try out different things..

(zealoft or zealot) all video converter
also head over to divx-digest.com and check the software section.

If you have some time (and maybe a little money), QuickTime Authoring can export the video to another format But I think it only comes with QuickTime Pro though...

Hmm, that didn't support .mov files. And any of those at divx-digest.com that said would convert mov to avi didn't work well with the sounds.



Well, money is the one thing I don't have. So that's a no.

Any other ideas?

I would suggest d/ling the trail version of Adobe Premiere. That will import the movie, then you can export to just about anything.

TMPGEnc 3.0 XPress

supports .mov

Okay, now I got the trial version of Adobe Premiere Pro and I imported this .mov file, the sound is ok but it shows only 1 frame of the movie for the whole time. I checked the properties of that imported file and it said something like:



So what's wrong? Can anyone help me import that file? I have no idea how to do this since I haven't used Premiere ever before.

Did you render it?
