Does anyone know of a converter for Mov files? I am trying to covert a mov file to either mpg or wmv to play on my axim. Windows Media Encoder 9 does not support that media type, so it is of no hlep to me.

you can always spend $700 on a copy of Adobe Premiere Pro http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/main.html

I have PictPocket also, but have had no luck in using its' movie converter...have you had any success in using the converter and if so can you give any advice?

AximPhreak

hmm...

I believe there was a .mov-reading plugin for VirtualDub

jpmarth: I hope you're not placing all of my suggestions on your ignore list, only the 100% correct but absolutely useless ones.

lol. no, none are going on my ignore list.

Bink and Smacker worked great to convert them to avi. after that i could use win media encoder.

AximPhreak

windows media encoder?

I honestly don't know how you can withstand the terrible quality/size ratios on that thing. It really is pretty bad: a 56mb 1hr30min movie looked like absolute crap in wm using Movie Maker, but a 78mb DivX/mp3 looked great and sounded more than decent. As a matter of fact, I've started writing a guide on the topic of movie conversion. It's still in its early stages, but it's coming along quite nicely.
