• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I uploaded all of my vacation videos to my mac but now my parents want to watch them, not my edited ones but just the raw footage but its in .mov format. They have a windows media center and the video formats wont work. I cant find a video converter to convert a .mov format to something windows can read.

Can anyone help me out?

Matty try out Handbrake and if your parents have Quicktime they should be able to watch it. Just convert it to .avi and all should be fine .....

And best of all Handbrake is free

Or Quicktime Pro can also convert how you want it to

Or easier if they download VLC for windows they will be able to watch just about any movie or audio as it can play just about any codec known to man

Hope this helps

Cheers
