Best and most painless way to save quicktime (*.mov) files is to turn your Quicktime player into the Pro version (more on this later). Here's what to do. First, download the latest version (of quicktime) from the apple website. To turn the "ordinary" quicktime into the pro version you would need a matching name to a serial#, otherwise it wouldnt work. Dont worry, its easy to find the serial#, just google it and you can it in no time.
