Hello,
I'm trying in vain to play .MOV videos on my Pinnacle, but it's impossible to read them..
Is there any trick? Thank you in advance.

    Hello, I have the tip from our internet friends that an Apple QuickTime .mov file is also a .mpg extension, and renaming it might work. You still have the solution of a converter, but choose one that doesn't limit file sizes.
    PS: I checked that Pinnacle Studio handles the Mov container (with dv, mpeg4, h264 codec).
    Check your container structure with "media info."

    Please remember to mark your message as "resolved" if that's the case.

    Hello, it's mysterious although in video there shouldn't be anything mysterious
    .mov is also mpeg, I suggest renaming the file to .mp2 or .mp4

    remember to put "resolved" on your message if that's the case

    Re stupid question, how to do it, if I rename the files it doesn't work either.
    Thank you
