Converting Quicktime to Movie Maker

ShareQuickTime movies, or MOVs, are common video files for PC and Mac users, although they are generally associated with QuickTime Player, a program from Apple.

Users may want to convert their MOVs to a Windows Movie Maker-friendly format for editing and storing on their hard drive, or for uploading to the Internet.

Since Windows Movie Maker can only convert and save WMV or AVI videos, you cannot use Windows Movie Maker directly for conversions. Unfortunately, there are no native programs with your PC that will perform these conversions, so you must download software that can convert MOVs to WMVs or AVIs. Please note that converting MOVs may result in loss of video quality due to WMV and AVI compression settings.
Instructions:-

1.Open your video file in the desired program after you have downloaded and installed your conversion software. Let your video load in the player window.

2.Choose an AVI or WMV setting from the list of export options, generally located under the “File” menu. If using HandBrake, you will find the AVI export setting located under the “Output Settings” drop-down menu in the middle of your screen. Choose an audio and video codec setting (codecs work to compress your video while saving and decompress the video during playback so it plays smoothly). These programs will automatically choose standard codecs for you, so it may be best to leave them alone.

3.Choose your picture size. Rename your file and choose its output destination (where your computer will save your file). Export or save your video. After conversion, launch Windows Movie Maker and import your video.
