However, when they try to import Kodak default MOV files to windows movie maker, or upload MOV files to YouTube, they will regret to have bought such inconvenient camera.

Actually I am one of the Kodak digital camera fans. I know all Kodak cameras (Kodak zi6, Kodak zi8, Kodak Zx1, Kodak PLAYSPORT and Kodak EasyShare) have their own specifications to fit for different customers.

MOV is the default output video files captured by Kodak cameras, which can be played by Apple QuickTime.

Actually, MOV is the right format for iMovie, Final Cut Pro (FCP), Final Cut Express (FCE). But sometimes you still feel frustrated for not able to import them to iMovie, FCP, FCE, then you need some corresponding codec.

What is codec?

Codec is a technical name for “compression/decompression”. It also stands for “compressor/decompressor” and “code/decode”. All of these variations mean the same thing: a codec is a computer program that both shrinks large movie files, and makes them playable on your computer. Codec programs are required for your media player to play your downloaded music and movies.

Why do you need a codec?

Because video and music files are large, they become difficult to transfer across the Internet quickly. To help speed up downloads, mathematical “codecs” were built to encode (“shrink”) a signal for transmission and then decode it for viewing or editing. Without codecs, downloads would take three to five times longer than they do now. You may know more about codec here(http://www.fourcc.org/fcccodec.htm)!
