Digital cameras and movie capabilities>Mpeg or.Mov ???

[DRDNA]

What would you prefer? Your digital camera does movies in Mpeg or .mov ?????

[DanTheBanjoman]

I would say bitrates, resolutions and such are more important. Plus both file types could be different formats.

yuck quicktime, just another program i have to turn of in msconfig

I agree totally...Plus .MOV doesnt play in dvd players !!!Mpeg does!

[DRDNA]

Please:toast: People take this POLL as I am presenting a case based on this information

[psychomage343]

please do explain why you would be presenting a case against or for an inferior format such as .mov. not to mention it's from apple, which is even worst. it's like your going to be presenting a case on your sexual orientation in reguards to computers

[J0N]

Mine does .Mov! But for ease of use and compatibility, I wish it did .Mpeg

Because the company I work for Kodak uses .mov and I am trying to build a case so they will use the standard Mpeg ..! I know that .mov is silly compared to the compatibility of Mpeg but when you up against corporate I would like as much ammo as possible !!!!

Same here and Kodak is probably loosing customers because of such a silly thing

Sorry, but I can't vote. I still use my KODAK "Brownie" box camera. Still delivers great B/W pictures and I love it!!

[freaksavior]

mpeg is easier to use imo, no converting, and almost everything supports mpeg video

[pt]

mpeg for sure, i hate having to use quicktime

[Steevo]

My canon does .avi


640X480 max resolution.
Can be captured, via cable, in realtime, with audio.

I have a Kodak V530 but only use it for photo's.If I was using video would rather have mpeg as I dont use Quicktime at all.

[psychomage343]

wasn't tryin to bash you, just curious, don't take any offense, and you work for kodak, that must be sick, i've got like 6 of their digital camera's but i don't do video, i wish it was mpeg though

[Frogger]

No problem friend , :toast: thanks for the poll vote .

[theonetruewill]

Has to be Mpeg, I have 2 quicktime Kodaks, and always have to convert the movie every time. Its a damn nuisance

Thank you kind Sir just the stuff I need !!!!

[D007]

Yea theres really no comparison.. Mpeg all day.. it's far more compatible and it take sup less memory and tends to run better.. Idk why, but it does.. Mov files are old school.. like beta max..lol.. using a .Mov file would make whoever develops it look like an infant in the technological world.. mpeg, no question.. :toast:

oh and good luck on the presentation..

[DRDNA]

Thank you for the wish of luck !!! I am hoping the proof is in the pudding ! You all are giving me the proof right now and I thank you all.

[DRDNA]

Come on members I would like to at least have 30 people in the poll . please:toast:

[J0N]

If I could vote again I would! :|

Good luck in your quest of common sense! ;)

[anticlutch]

Mpeg for sure. I'm sure both formats have their merits but mpeg is a LOT more convenient to use. Once I was doing a project with a friend (with his Kodak camera, as we didn't have anything better on hand), and when it came for the time to put it all together with Windows Movie Maker, it was pretty much hell.

Very good feed-back ! Hopefully we can get that exact thing changed !!!:toast: !!!!
Many thanks for the in-put!

Got a grandchild on the way, will be looking for a digital camera for movies. It will have to be easy to use with windows or it's of no use to me. Mpeg all the way. I will not use Quicktime, it's on my list of 'delete whenever I get a new rig',(along with many others).

you and tatty should start the "soon to be gramps clubhouse" :p

I'm a Mac owner and user, and I still voted mpeg. Although .mov can have benifits in encoding(depending on the codec used), the compatibility of mpeg gives it the win in my book.
