Answer 1

It depends on what software you use to capture the video. You can use movie maker to capture .wmv files. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Your camera records in QuickTime format - it's a standard format used by a lot of digital cameras and it produces .MOV files.  You can't change it - that's what it does.

AVI isn't a video format, it's a file format - e.g. DivX is packed in avi files and so is DV, but they're very different.  Super is a good, free converter.  If you need avi files to edit in Windows Movie Maker, select the DV codec or ignore avi altogether and convert to wmv.

Answer 3

Download *Videora* to convert the .mov format to anyother formats you like. You should change the video formats in your Video Capture Software to .avi or .mpeg.
