You're ahead of the game as far as I'm concerned. All my video is in MOV format because for some reason it automatically goes to Quicktime when I download to my computer, so they are all MOV format and I didn't even know there was software available to convert to other formats. And why a Windows based computer would default to an Apple based movie format that is entirely incompatible with the Windows Movie Maker or the Toshiba movie maker that both came installed on my laptop, I will never know. *end of rant, thanks for listening*

The video format comes from the camera, not the computer you download it to, and I think a number of cameras do use the MOV format. If I find a good free conversion program I'll let you know.
