Hi

So i used my 650D on Saturday for a charity basement rave and took many amazing photos and videos. Now that i have sat down to pull them off the camera for edit i see that the videos are in some format called .MOV (i recorded at 1080p 24fps) which i have never seen or heard of before. From some research i have found that the Canon software on the disk is meant to be able to read this format and be able to edit it but i can not use that software as it is incompatible with Windows 10, which sucks, so what are my options?

How do i view these video files and get them edited?

 
I suggest you get handbrake. It is free. It is an excellent video file processor. It has a simple, clean interface. It can easily convert MOV files to mp4 or whatever you want.
 


Thanks for the quick, clear and straight to the point answer, i will look tonight.
