I have Studio Version 9 video software. Whenever I go to add a video that is NOT from a video camera, but is from i.e. a camera, the software doesn't recognize it. It either will not play the video or not recognize it. I've tried everything!

I even tried changing the formats ( .avi, mpg), you name it, I've tried it. The original format of the file is .mov which comes up the with real player.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance

According to Pinnacle Studio Version 9 spec sheet, the formats that the program can import are:

* Video: MPEG-1, MPEG-2*, AVI
* Audio: WAV, MP3
* Graphic: BMP, JPG, PCT, TGA, TIF, WMF


You will have to convert your .MOV movies to .AVI before they can be imported. As long as Quicktime is installed on your computer (it shows MOV files), then the following free tool can be used to convert MOV files to AVI.

RAD Video Tools (Audio & Multimedia - Video Tools) (http://www.topdrawerdownloads.com/download/104350)

You could try a program to convert your .mov files to .avi format

This program can convert between many formats, personally use it myself
