convert .mov files to another extension
I take movies with my Nikon Coolpix camera and they are .mov files. So far, no movie make software I've seen will accept this extension. Is there a conversion software that will change them to a more usable file extension for movies? Thanks!

.mov is a Quicktime file---thats Apple's proprietary file. Most NLE's will do it----here is what appears to be a free one but I am not sure how well it works.

I did try zamzar, which seemed very user-friendly. They sent me an email saying that there was a problem converting my file. I will try them again. I like how it works--just upload a .mov and they convert and send via email. However, I will also try the others.
Thanks so much. I still welcome any/all suggestions.

You were lucky---I couldn't even get their server to accept my file.
