advice on .mov files

Two questions here. What is a good freeware program that can convert my .mov files to a format to burn onto a dvd+r also what is the best format to convert it too?

 

Try VSO DivxToDVD (freeware version):

It will convert the movs directly into dvd compliant format (i.e. video_ts), ready for final burning.

 

I would like to play mov. files, how do I do so?

 

Dear jj77669,

Provided you have the codecs, many players can play mov. You may try download and install K-Lite Codec Pack (full or mega version) from this site. It also comes with an all-purpose media player called Media Player Classic.

Happy mov viewing!
