Hey everyone!

I need a screen capture program for Windows that will save the video as a .mov or something similar that will be compatible with Mac. Any ideas?

Use a transcoder

I frequently make videos in .mov, but not in one step. I first make a video the usual way.

FRAPS>edit/compress with Windows Movie Maker<transcode to .mov

The first part is described here:

I use AVS tools for transcoding:

You can edit and compress the .avi files from FRAPS with the AVS tools if you only want the .mov version.

aw Ok, thanks!!
I actually think I just wanna work with the AVI files instead of converting. Do you happen to know how I can get FCP To recognize AVI files once I import them into the bin? My Mac keeps not recognizing AVI files.
