I don't think it's really creating a .mov. I followed the directions exactly. Anyone know what could be creating the problem? I tried this, but it didn’t create a file that I can import into iMovie.

But it doesn't make sense to say one is better than another, because the file format is just a "wrapper." What makes this situation a mess is that the file-type extensions don't actually tell you what's IN the video file. It's not a PC-vs-Mac thing, it's all about the codec that was used on the video... for example, there is no guarantee that two .avi files used the same codec even though they have different file extensions, so one may work fine while the next one causes problems. Nobody is going to be able to force that to be standardized because the different codecs and compression formats are good for different things. (For example, H.264 is great for playback but lousy for editing; AIC is great for editing but the files are huge; etc.) If all you're doing is playing back vids your buddies pirated for you, then yeah, you probably can use whatever you want. But as soon as you get into originating and editing your own content, it's a huge can o' worms... but I don't see a solution. Well, I hate .avi!
