I've got a Canon EOS 5D Mark II for review. I am pretty much a pure still photographer. But I've found myself shooting more and more video - mostly with point-and-shoot cameras. So I'm kind of psyched to find out what all the hype is about with the new 5D. Being a video rube, I do all my editing with the free Microsoft Windows Movie Maker software. It's been great for me so far. But I think I've run into a serious limitation. It doesn't seem to be able to edit or even recognize the 5D Mk II's .mov video files. Any ideas or suggestions about what I should do? I would prefer not to have to shell out any cash for video editing software. But if I'm at that crossroads, maybe I just have to suck it up and pay up.
Thanks in advance for your help.
