I faced the same problem. My job is downloading movşe trailer from Apple site. Those trailer files are MOV with H.264 codec. I have downloaded the famous patch. It does not work. Tech guy did not help. The solution is convert mov files with a video converter (SUPER is good). I know it is not a good reputation for ULEAD, but ULEAD can not handle MOV files.

Kodak MOV Files
Good afternoon,
Yes, I installed the Kodak Mov Patch.
Windows XP is like a car with an automatic transmisson; XP does all the shifting for you. Learning to put in this MOV Patch was like learning to operate a stick shift: I had to study up on file management just to make sure I was doing everything right. Trevor, your instructions were perfect.
However, the video part now plays, but the sound part is all garbled. Is there something else I should know?
Thanks for all your help. Still learning. John

Good afternoon,
I received another e-mail from tech support:
"There are some cases that VideoStudio does not fully support some compressed MOV files, mostly from digital cameras. In such cases ee suggests to convert the video file into AVI (uncompressed) first; using a third party program like QuickTime Pro. Then import the encoded clips to VS to edit.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you."
And, I want to thank everyone for their replies. This is a great forum. Still learning. John

Good afternoon,
I was surfing around about Kodak MOV files and I discovered that you can change the Kodak MOV file to AVI in the Kodak Easy Share Program. Duh! I never used the Kodak Easy Share Program, I always used PhotoShop to edit still photos. Anyway, to change the MOV file to AVI, insert the video into Easy Share, click Edit and change the MOV file to AVI in the Save As box. However, the file becomes very pixilated because the quality is reduced, but the sound is perfect. It's just good enough to send in an e-mail. (But, that's what I wanted to do anyway).
A better solution is to use Ulead to change the MOV file; the picture will be perfect but the sound will be poor. Once I have time, I'll have to figure out how to use the Ulead video conversion and the Kodak Easy Share audio conversion together. That way I can use the file for Web Share. Or, I can just buy QuickTime Pro.
Just thought you'd like to know; you were right, you can change the MOV file to AVI in Kodak Easy Share! Still learning. John

John,
Being new to video editing you happended to pick on one of the harder areas related to video editing which is video format conversions.
Kodak doesn't use the same format to record these video clips. One Kodak camera will use one format while another uses a different format. I don't know why they do that.
Personnaly I like the MJPEG format (Motion Jpeg).
Sometimes to make it easier I just re-record the video directly from the cameras video output cable into my dv cam, dvd recorder or any analog recording device. Depends.
The Quicktime software should convert these files including the H264 codecs. The H264 encoded videos after converting to another format will probably be larger than the original H264 file so I just send the original H264 mov file to the person via email and their Quicktime Program play it back.

Good evening,
Hi Maddrummer,
Ah, there in lies the problem. I e-mail out a family newsletter once a week; only one person out of a dozen has the QuickTime Player installed. The rest of the family are reluctant to install QT on their computer. I usually just send out some old photos with each newsletter, but I thought I might send out some small video clips as well; but, they have to be played in Windows Media Player. I got the Kodak camera about two years ago and I have a lot of clips of my parents, who have since passed away. I may put the clips on a Web site, but first I have to find a way so the clips look good. Fortunately, everyone I send the newsletter to, has broadband. My wife bought a Sony 505 DVD Handycam for Christmas, that's the main reason I bought the Uleas VideoStudio. I guess I'll have a big learning curve there also. Thanks for letting me know about all the different MOV formats. It's a jungle out there.
Still learning. John

Well, here's something I never tried before with my Kodak files that VS still will not convert properly. It worked converting to a windows wmv fileand other formats using the ffmeg codec. Maybe your Kodak files are the same as mine.
I used a free program called "Super"
After you install it you need to just setup some simple things.
Launch the program and "Right_Click" on the screen and select "Specify the output folder Destination". If you don't do this finding the converted file could be confusing. I used c:\videos and created the directory on the harddisk first.
At the bottom says "Player Options" click on that and if "Full Screen" is selected then unselect it"
To convert files you drag & drop them into the area that says "DROP A VALID FILE HERE" etc.
Then drag & drop one of the mov files into that box.
You next need to assign the output settings at the top of the page: Box 1: I used wmv(still experimental)___Box 2:MS-mpeg4-v2__Box 3:mp3
Everything else I left default, click on the "Encode Active Job List" and let it convert. It worked converting my files. I picked the wmv format because everybody has a windows media player on their machine.
I also converted to Mpeg1 and imported into VS, from VS I converted to various formats and they all worked as well.
Maybe give it a whirl.
Just a hint at the top of the page you have a selection on what encoder to use, I found the FFMPEG encoded properly while the memcoder didn't.
Getting to the site and downloading is through a few links to the actual page to download the program. Here a link, you will have to link across some pages, when you get to the correct page it's at the bottom on the webpage. Must be advertisements.
Going by the persons you are sending your videos to I would use the windows WMV format, everyone has Windows Media Player.

Good morning,
Thanks Maddrummer,
SUPER sounds like an excellent program! After reading all about it, my head is still soaking all the information in. Thank goodness, I only need to convert MOV.
When I get some free time, I'll download SUPER and give it a whirl. Thanks for all your help, and most importantly, instructions on how to use SUPER.

Good morning,
Just an update on what I plan to do.
I tried Maddrummer's idea on using the analog output from the Kodak camera to a DVD recorder. Fortunately, I had just bought a VCR/DVD recorder (Panasonic DMR-ES35V) to convert old VHS tapes to DVD. I save all my full SD Cards for backup, so I had all my video files handy. The conversion went perfect; I now have all my Kodak video files on DVD. One minor flaw is that the counter icons copy over to the DVD.
My camera is a Kodak DX7590 and the video files are VGA (640 x 480) QuickTime MOV (CODEC MPEG4). I usually just remove the SD Card from the camera and slip it into the laptop; I then edit the still photos in Photoshop Elements 2. That has been fine until now.
Kodak just e-mailed me and asked me to upgrade my EasyShare program. They also recommended that I edit the video files in QuickTime Pro 7. So next week I'll upgrade EasyShare and buy QuickTime Pro 7. I think QT Pro 7 doesn't convert to WMV, so I'll use QT Pro to convert the video files to AVI and then use VideoStudio to convert the AVI to WMV. I've read that even QT Pro has problems with some Kodak MOV files (http://www.assassinationscience.com/johncostella/kodak). Hopefully, I won't have anymore problems.
So, I've got a lot on my plate. I've got to study up on VideoStudio, EasyShare, QuickTime Pro and the new Sony 505 DVD Handycam my wife just bought. Plus, my wife just said she wants a video iPod.
Right about now I could use an "Easy Button," but with all the help I've gotten from this forum, I'll be just fine.
Thanks. Still learning. John
