When I recorded videos on my old digitial camera, they always played back using Quicktime (which Apple/iPods use) on my computer. Now with my most recent camera, a Pentex, when I play back videos, it uses Windows Media Player. My question is, how can I get them converted to Quicktime, so I can put them in my iTunes & on my iPod? I have a 4th generation iPod; I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Thanks.

Your new camera probably records in *.avi or *.mpg format. There are multiple converters that convert into ipod format. The one I use is Videora (videora.com).

They say ".avi". Hey, thanks, I had no idea something like this existed. :wavey: I'll have to try this when I get home tonight.

OK well I have a question maybe someone can answer too. I am trying to burn files to a DVD. The program I am using says it can't DL because they are not DVD files, they are media files. How do I transfer them to DVD files?

You have to make sure that you copying data as opposed to recording to a DVD. If that doesn't work, you should use another program- I'm sure you can download some free burning software from the HP website.
