Watching Quicktime Movies on a P.C.?

Postby Snarfyguy » 05 Mar 2014, 18:11

Is there any way to do it? It's my work p.c., so I can't install any conversion-type software on it.

I have all these movies I took on my camera and I have to upload them to Youtube just to see if they're worth keeping, a tedious process.

I took a peek on Google, but no soap.

Thanks for any advice.

Apple's Quicktime for Windows will playback these files. It's a free download from Apple, although some functionality requires a paid upgrade to the Pro version. If you have iTunes installed on this PC it may already be there.

Thanks, Jethro.

No iTunes on this rig, but it did occur to me I can evaluate the quality of the movies simply by looking at them on the camera. Problem solved! :D
