Can PC people watch MOV files on Windows machines?
 

I'm thinking of adding MOVs to my members area.

Macs have no problem with this, but what about everyone else?

Currently I only offer WMVs, but I'm thinking of adding MOVs as a second option.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

MOVs work on PC, but I think most people don't like it..

yes

I use the current k-lite codec pack and the Microsoft Media Player Classic loaded from there

works perfectly

I use Windows daily...

.MOV plays with no problem, but like the guy said above... We just dislike this format,
Its clunky.

why dont you use mp4 with H264 - works perfectly on both OS and on mobile devices.

i dont see any reason to use anything else

Yes and I like movs.

PC can do anything MAC can do.

don't use movs, like MaDalton said, use mp4 instead... :2 cents:

Yes you can, but will codec work from 1st shot i don't know

yap but the everyday joe can't install a codec pack and mpc :)

they do work on PC but are not recommended for average PC user..

http://www.videolan.org/index.html plays just everything.

Thanks for the feedback everyone :thumbsup

sure, just use videolan

This.

Don't see the advantage MOVs or WMVs have over mp4 with h264

I like MOV.

yeah, sure! but why would you want to do that?

I made the decision to offer 3 file formats for all Pecker Pass updates moving forward - WMV, MP4, and MOV.

I've provided these 3 formats for a number of recent updates within our membership area, but now I am getting at least one customer a day writing to tell me he cannot view and/or download the new clips.

I need at least one or two PC users and maybe one or two Mac users to check this out for me. I cannot reproduce any problems from my office.

If you have some technical expertise and want to help me out with some feedback, please drop me a line and I'll send you a free 10 day Pecker Pass for your troubles.

Thanks in advance!

its the program rendering the files. total garbage. i use any-video-converter & the only time someone complained is when i stopped using it.

So just to be clear, someone who hasn't recently visited my membership area, has decided to chime in with a theoretical assumption pulled directly from his ass.

You have to love GFY :thumbsup

Of course we can :pimp

Please ignore my previous post regarding testing, and just visit this post instead, should you want to give me some feedback...

Thanks again!

actually, since i know you personally, & i know you are having difficulty with software from a company that you bought the compressor from, i believe my feedback is not pulled directly from my ass, but instead is based directly on your feedback to me about the software.

but since you cant duplicate the problem, your customers are obviously wrong, & the new compressor software should obviously be ruled out.

good luck. :upsidedow

Your misinformation regarding this issue is staggering.

If you are attempting to help me in some way, you have failed. :2 cents:

Seems it can't autocorrect MAC to Mac.

;)

MOVs are so 1990

I absolutely hate mov.

Use mkv.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

MOV is the worst format to play on PC. As for editing.. it's a whole nightmare. Go with WMV + MP4.

wmv and mp4 all the way, get a streami9ng option for mp4 also and it will work on every device pretty much.
