Hello Bill,
I am in much the same situation with my Minolta DiMAGE Z-10. In looking for
a converter I ran across a freeware program called RAD Video Tools. Here is
a download link and two Web sites on the use of the program:

Subject: [PCSOFT] .mov File Conversion
Greetings all;
My parents have a Kodak EasyShare CX7430. In movie mode it can only
record in .mov format. The files play properly in Quicktime, and the camera
can output to a television properly in review mode. When I took a .mov file
to my friend's computer and used his WinAvi Video Converter Standard Edition
(Version 5.8, OS XP sp2, AMD 2600+, 512 RAM) software the program displayed
the following error message;
"No usable audio stream, which may lead the converter to be unable to work
exactly"
It then asked me to click on "Yes, No, Cancel." I tried several
different .mov files with the same results.
No matter what conversion, settings or options I try, I either get a
Windows error message (with the offer to send in an error report) or the
video conversion takes place with the result being poorer video than the
original .mov and no sound at all. He has not tried this type of conversion
before, but has been able to do what he wanted with WinAvi in the past. My
searches on the net have been fruitless.
Is there software better suited for .mov conversion or does someone have
a solution to my problem? My goal is to create DVDs that my parents can use
on their DVD player. Thank you.
Bill
