When I record video with my Nikon D3100, it records in .MOV file type. I've looked and there's no way of changing this :(. Windows movie maker does not accept .MOV as a file to edit in the program because it is quicktime. I got my new computer in 2 days which runs Windows 7. And the Windows 7 Windows Movie Maker also can not accept .MOV files. So how can I edit the video taken from my Camera? I've tried using a freeware converter but it messed up the quality

 

Nikon D3100 is one of the top 10 Best Selling & Top Rated Digital SLR Cameras 2011 on Amazon, which record full 1080p HD videos in MOV format. Successor to the popular D3000, it is built around a 14.2 CMOS sensor and a 3 inch LCD, captures beautiful pictures and amazing Full HD 1080p movies with sound and full-time autofocus. But the MOV video format came from Nikon D3100 is a long GOP format that is highly compressed, it is not a good editing format. So you will not playback or edit smoothly the highly compressed MOV on your editing software like: Adobe Premiere , Sony Vegas , Windows Moive Maker, even Windows 7 Windows Live Movie Maker, etc.
