Which player to use for the .MOV format video clips? What would you recommend?

Windows Media Player plays .mov, you probably just need to download the most recent version. It's Apple Quicktime format fyi.

I agree go with Cyberlink Power Director 7 (there DVD menu maker not very good, however have not tried latest); I have bought each edition since the 3rd edition; Pinnacle still a little buggy and slow; there is a software called Muvee that you put in pictures or film, pick a style and easy movie

I have been able to play .mov, .avi, .mkv .jpg and mp3 files.So far I haven't found any video files that it won't play.It has played on the TV and any computer connected to my network.

I agree with Diane K. . Also You must have a player for your video. We ran into a problem that the video type we had would not work so I used ffmpeg (very versatile software) to make an audio file (mp3) from the video file. Then the resulting audio file worked great with the mac and the vpedal. my wife does a lot of transcriptions and sometimes i need to chop off parts of the file or take out a part in the middle. I use ffmpeg for that as well. runs on my PC and on mac

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want)

I believe you can also use MPEG Streamclip... works great and is fast. It doesn't have to change any formats. And it's free.http://www.squared5.com/

.mov is an Apple video file extension. Movies can be played back by downloading and installing the basic free Quicktime software for your computer's specific operating system from Apple.com.

I've tried a few different video types but all through a smart bluray player. What are you playing? based on how it seems to function id say that should work.

Looks like it uses h.264 which is a quicktime format. Do you have quicktime installed? I'm a mac user and never use AVI's so I hope I'm correct in this assumption.

I have this camera and a few other Panasonic models. I found a freeware video converting program and works nicely for converting from mov. It is called Quick Media Converter. Just search for the title and download it. The version 3.6.5 fixed a few bugs. I usually convert to a wmv file. You can use either an easy or advanced mode that allows for file size and quality.

GOMPlayer and VLCPlayer can both play the videos. Do a Google search and you'll find these free media players.

I am not going to use a 3rd party player. If something doesn't play in WMP by default, I don't want it.In 20 years from now I am not going to go searching for some weird player / codec.

Yes!! Very well actually. I've never had a problem with any video format. I've used mp4, m4v, avi, iso and a few others. I'm literally in love with this thing haha

I am sorry those file formats are not supported by the player. In order to get the files to work you will have to recode them based on the instructions provided here:http://content.miccastore.com/node/189I apologize for the inconvenience.Manny

I haven't hit a loser with either ASUS player while WDs aren't so friendly. I haven't used it for music yet, so I don't know if it reads the playlists straight up. I haven't tried .isos as others have recommended, but it plays mkv and the variety of avis just fine. I have the WD Live and Mini, too, and I think I'm growing to like the ASUS products for the ease of use, variety of file formats, and more visible fonts (I even set up the R1 for my 82-year old father, and plug in soccer games for him when I get them). Thx for the google suggestion.

I dont use Real Player so dont know about compatiblity, but since this only work with one type of video format it kinda sucks with that, but once you find a way to convert formats the video is clear and sound is like listening to the music. This is still a great item for its price.
