Need help open movies on my desktop

[mclaughlinc]

I just got the NZ-90 and wanted to send a movie I toook of my son to family members. When I get the movie on my desktop the file ext. is not one that I can open with any program. What program do I need to convert this file to something somebody else can view on a desktop?

Thanks

I think Quicktime can open MOV files. Try downloading it from http://www.quicktime.com

Yep, change the extension to .mov

btw, is there any easier way? Maybe auto convert?

Change your file association in Windows to open up MQV files with Quicktime...that way when you drag and drop you just click and it opens... no conversion needed.

Cheers!

Ok I have quick time, and I changed the extension to .mov. (while in explorer) I can't open the .mov file with quicktime. Any suggestions.

btw, you cant change the file extension.
You will have to double click on the file (*.mqv) then explorer will ask you something like "Open with?". Then you select quicktime.
So, from now on, all *.mqv files will be open with quicktime.

Walla..
