So my camera creates MOV files but I use Windows Movie Maker and it does not support MOV files.

I have tried ALL kinds of online converters as well as Quicktime Pro 7 (the one you pay for!) and I still find that EVERYTHING cuts down on the quality tremendously!

I am frustrated!!

On Quicktime Pro 7 I converted a 12.5MB MOV file to AVI and it is now 5.53MB... and that is even worse quality when I converted it to a WMA file (now 3.37MB) with a free program!
Any suggestions on how to keep the quality when converting? I am so frustrated because everytime I want to make a video I need to do this and the quality is really compromised... I guess my camera is screaming for me to go to a Mac but that ain't happening for awhile since I just bought this laptop within the past year.
