Re: K7 movies
Mmm I remember I opened them directly in iMovie. The file format is AVI but the most important thing is the codec, as some others said, Mjpeg. It produces huge files but are very easy to edit on the computer since that codec doesn't require a lot of power to compress/decompress. Edit: I just imported an AVI/Mjpeg file straight from K-7 into iMovie'09: File - Import - Movie - select AVI file.

Re: K7 movies
You're welcome, Paul. Happy if I can help. I have to say I'm very impressed by the quality of the video. Comparison with my LX3 (720p as well) isn't fair at all. The LX3 compresses data way more (in theory the Codec has not that much influence but bitrate has a lot more).

The latest version of IIMovie doesn't recognize the K7 AVi video files. At least not for me:-) Paul On Feb 28, 2010, at 6:27 PM, Brendan MacRae wrote: Paul, You should have iMovie on your iMac.

Re: K7 movies
It's 1.1 gigabytes. It may be a bit more than 3 minutes, but not much. HD video is a memory hog.
