    • 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.

How do I convert .mov to .mjpeg or other Windows compatible Codec?

I've edited 21 clips to be used as projections for a media design on Final Cut Express 4 using my 13 inch macbook.

I have exported them all as 1280x720 .mov files but when I transfer them to the PC with Windows 7, my V.J. program Resolume 3.2.2 refuses to play them. It will play .avi clips but i lose a ton of quality. MPEG4 files haven't been working either.

I have heard in other forums that .mjpeg should work. How do I convert to this type of file? or are there other codecs that work well on Windows?

Thanks Kevin. It turned out it was a software issue. My VJ program Resolume 3.2.2 for Windows requires that you convert your file to it's own unique codec .dvx but I gave up because it wouldn't recognize the formats in order for me to convert them.

In the end I exported .avi files to be used and unfortunately lost some quality.
