I've downloaded quite a few Zed videos, 70 so far!! Ranging between the 240Z to the 350Z. These are of varying quality and size.

What I'm trying to do is produce a DVD, nothing on a commercial scale, just somthing for myself, and anyone who would want one.

 

Now for the question, I've downloaded three Quicktime .MOV files, and have discovered that my DVD builder program wont recognise them. What I'm after is, is there a way of transfering them into a format that the program will recognise?

 

Also if anyone can point me in the right direction for some more downloadable vid clips on the net, it would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

a few that do it m8

not sure if they give you a free d/l

Thanks Billy :bow: free copy on it's way to you as soon as I've completed it :D

Update (already) - After downloading from two different sources, and trying six times to load it, the program crashes immediatley!!! :confused:

 

So I'm back to square one, does anyone know of a program, that is NOT called "movconverter.exe", that will convert from .MOV to AVI, MPEG etc?

Right, well "Sod It!"

 

After wasting most of the afternoon, searching, downloading, and running quite a few, so-called conversion programs, not one is any good!

So the three Quicktime .MOV vids will stay on my PC, and not go onto the DVD afterall... Shame really, as they are quite good :(

 

But at least I've still got loads more to put on it, and I'm still finding quite a bit of stuff.

 

Will keep you informed.

Thanks Tony, but after downloading it, and running it, as soon as I open it, the 'An Error Has Occured, And Needs To Close' box comes up and it fooks off, same as happened to a couple this afternoon.

I did notice that it loads a Media 9 File, is this to do with Windows Media Player 9, because I've got Player 10 on here at the mo? :confused:

 

Also i was trying to burn a copy of the completed (so-far) DVD this evening, and it got 3/4 of the way through the encoding process, and the bloody program crashed :headvswal :headvswal ........ 2.9 Gb takes a bloody long time to encode :mad:

After almost giving up on this I've finally stumbled across a site that gives loads of info and links for all things video!

 

The sites name is.... http://www.videohelp.com

 

And the bit of softwear that converts .MOV to .AVI (and that'll actually load and run, without a watermark) is called..... Rad Video Tools

 

I've, succesfully converted 3 .MOV's to .AVI so far, so it looks like this Zed DVD is back on track, well it is if the burning program doesn't crash again (I think my processor may not be up to the job).

 

Will keep you informed as soon as I have some more news.

Dave I use 'DVD Santa' to convert most formats to DVD, but it is slow and when its converted the files it will ask if u want to burn to disc as well within the same program.

BTW I got that program from a torrent site which I cant remember the link to, if it helps give me a shout and i'll look for it.
