First time I heard about video converter I started wondering what can I do with it. The answer came when on of my friends asked me to send him my wedding videos. The only problem: he was a Windows user and I am a Mac user.

There are very few persons willing to share their experience with the others especially when it’s about conversion of the MOV files. There are even fewer the ones who know how to write a well structured tutorial. That’s why I think I could speak in behalf of all of us who red your tutorial when I say BRAVO.

From the moment I started using the tips written by you in this tutorial I was so surprised in a very good way by the quality of video and the conversion speed.
Brantarin 2012-08-02 10:09
Every time I read this guidance I can’t think about a way to thank you enough for the time you spent on this and for sharing your experience with us the people reading your tutorial.

The truth is that convertion of o MOV file into AVI can be a burden without guidance from someone good at this and without a good program. Thank you for this tutorial. It convinced me there are other much more pleasant ways to convert MOV files into AVI.

For a while I had serious problems with convertion MOV files into AVI. Often the quality of the image was the worst I could get and the sound offset. But now after I studied your tutorial I finally understood my mistakes.

Converted a MOV file, played it, and it turns out to be an AVI with no video footage in it, just audio only, why is it so??
John 2012-07-07 15:32
Tried various different converters, either didn't work or too complicated. This one is fast and easy. No need for anything else!
