Usually depends on the quicktime codec's you have installed on your computer and your camera that creaed the mov files.. I find it more reliable to use another program to convert these mov files to mpeg2 dvd compliant files, then insert the mpeg2 dvd compliant files into MF.

Search the VideoStudio & MovieFactory forums for quicktime. You will find a lot of information and links to other conversion programs.

My first choice for converting A/V formats is Video Studio! :wink: But, if Movie Factory can't do it, Video Studio probably can't convert it either either...

When Video Studio doesn't work, my 2nd choice is SUPER (FREE!!!).


If you live in North America, convert your file to:
MPEG-2, 720 x 480, 29.97 FPS.

If you live in a PAL country, convert your file to:
MPEG-2, 720 x 576, 25 FPS

Yes... Sometimes... There are many different variations of each format, so some people may not have trouble with their particular MOV files...

The most compressed formats (MOV, WMV, DivX, Xvid, MPEG-4) cause the most trouble. MPEG-2 (the DVD format) sometimes causes trouble. AVI/DV (less-compressed at 13GB per hour) rarely causes any trouble.
I burned .avi files fine and they play fine on the DVD.
FYI - AVI is not a single format. It's a "wrapper" or "container" file that can contain anything from DV to DivX.

If you are making a regular video-DVD, the AVI file is getting converted to a (MPEG-2 encoded) VOB file before it is burned onto the disc.

I had bad sound with mov/files.
I installed 0715quicktimealt147.exe and everything is 100%!

Maybe it helps for you!
