I've taken a lot of video on my TH55, but how do I play them on my computer? I don't seem ot have the right program, says it can't recognize the extension.

I want also know that. Problem is simple that there is no software for windows what does regonice that mqv format. I know because i have quicktime, windows media player and realone player newest version and still those can't regonice that stuped format.

You should be able to associate the MQV files with QuickTime. I play them all the time on my computer that way. Just navigate to the directory and use "open with" to open them with QuickTime.

Or, you can just rename MQV to MOV to convert it to a more common QuickTime format. That always works for me.

How do you remane extensions? I tried it in XP, naming a file, "movie" to "movie.mov" but got "movie.mov.MQV". No go.

You need to set the "view extensions of known file types" in windows explorer through tools > folder options > view.
Or use the start > run and type "command" option to rename in dos

will give you the idea use cd to change directory and dir to list, it's old school dut you can rename a group of files e.g. ren *.mqv *.mov will change the extension of all the mqv's in a directory to mov's
