Re: can i convert a mov file to mpeg

short answer to this question is yes. but has nothing to do with the notebook. you need programs to convert file extensions of videos. Most you need to pay for. others are free, but come with a price of spyware. What you want to do, can be done. How you decide to resolve that issue is up to you. There is no built in software to help you

you can always play the movie in VLC player that plays most file extensions and hook your pc to your tv :smileyhappy:

Thank you. I downloaded the trial offer of Xilisoft. It will convert up to 3 minutes of video. Seems to work fine.

my Norton Security said it is safe. Is it?

yes it is safe, but it is a trial. IF you decide not to pay for the software and try to find the software for free, then you will end up with norton going crazy :smileywink:. That software itself is fine
