Hi was just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on this.
I took and 8 sec video on my Panasonic DMC-LC43 digital camera and download to my computer with a whole lot of photos as well.

I tried to send it via blue tooth to my nokia 6131 mobile, but say something like not supported.

The video is saved on my desktop and and aslo I photo. On the desktop I have noticed it is a .mov

Does anyone know who to change this from .mov to I am not sure what so I can send to my mobile and it will play on there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Michael

Mobile phones support 3GP/3GPP2/MP4 formats I think. (?)

QuickTime Pro with the appropriate codecs will do it. iMovie will do it too.

If it opens in iMovie, then choose one of the options under the Share menu

Go to the Nokia site and find out what file type the phone will support.

Then go to an Apple store, buy an iPhone so that it is easy to export your movie to iTunes for synching
