You will need Quick Time Player to play mov files.

hi, ok but the thing is that i want to burn this movie in to a dvd so i could see the movie on my hone dvd player how can i do this if the file is (mov) would it play on a home dvd player if i burn it on to a dvd

It should burn. Burn it as 'data' burn. What burning software do you use? And you might want to browse the forum sticky's at the top of the forum. They will have all the info you need on burning.

Hi Mike,
You need a program that will convert these files and then burn them in quick easy steps...Dvdsanta is a user friendly program that will do this for you....
The free demo version is a good one it has all the functions the paid version has and there are no time limits, it just has demo across the screen in the video output ( but if you zoom in it goes)
This is the link.....Check it out and see if you like it....;)

Oh ok, you didnt mention what software you are using for the burns? I use Nero 6 for mine. I try to avoid mov files at all costs and stick with avi extensions. Aslo, try a web search, Im sure there are some free ones out there without restrictions. ;)
