Video Converter .mov to .avi


I've had an iPhone for a while now, and I'm really happy with how simple and high quality the video is. You can shoot for hours, and well, yeah.
The one frustration I've had is that I can't edit .mov files in Windows movie maker, and use them, for anything. I don't have a mac and I'm not getting one, so.
I found a solution. It's called Prism video converter, it's free, and it will convert folders rather than single files. It's also quite quick.
The only other issue I've had is that videos are often 90 degrees rotated when they are converted. This happens with Prism too, but if you are editing, it's a quick fix on WMM, in that you only have to select effects, click rotate 90, 180 or 270 degrees, and your clip is back to normal.
Whoot.
Enjoy using your iPhone.

Cheers
Dave

I've just finished planning a course for CTS. Here is a link to the homepage.
It will be part of a larger offering (5 credits) but none of the work is finished for that yet.
If you'd like to see the shell of the portal, it is here.
