I have been an IT project manager who has personally picked up my RTM copy from the Redmond WA corporate office. One learning experience that comes to mind is that RTM is not exactly the same as the retail copy - for there, is always last-minute hooks to updates and mini service-paks.

This is especially true for the bugs that became apparent in the latter part of Beta testing cycle as influx of new competitive third-party implementations spoil the broth.

I notice that Microsoft is apologizing and say you must backpedal to a Windows Vista compatibility mode - HA how clever to force you to two (2) OS versions backward to get it running once again!

The real question is why hasn't Apple made it natively compatible with Win7? That's a lack on their part, not MS. Apple releases OS's more frequently than MS does. They have no problems keeping up with their own OS changes, but they can't make it work with Win7? That's garbage. That's either poor planning on their part, or something they think will force people to move to their products. I think that it will just eliminate the MOV format as a popular format.

And yes, there are always newer updates coming out before the OS goes public. I just got a new patch today from MS for my Win8 install, and it's not publicly available yet. But I doubt that this patch will be in the boxed copies. The build numbers will stay the same. Just goes to show how fast technology moves!!

Back to the original question, are there any ways around this requirement so I can work with MOV files?

I'm not trying to be smart.... oh, wait.... I am..... but NO. Use Quicktime or use another NLE. Thems your two choices.

I'd suspect that any NLE that works with .MOV files does so by use of QuickTime.

Back to my original response, am I to assume that this is a veiled report that QT Alternative did not work for you?

That is correct. I did mention that already:

"Thanks for the link. I have seen that solution on a ton of different sites, yet it hasn't worked for me. That's why I was looking for an alternative to the QT requirement. I'll keep looking and hope someone sees this that might know of another workaround. Thanks!!"

Here's a way to get over your hook-up on Quicktime .mov wrapper - read about the following and download this tool:

RAD Video Tools Software to Convert a file: The RAD converter can convert almost any type of file to another type. For example, you can convert a bunch of BMPs into an AVI, GIFs into JPEGs, Smackers into flics, QuickTimes into AVIs, wave files into different sample rates, 24-bit images into 8-bit images, etc.
