Apple apps such as QuickTime Player, Photos, and Keynote work with many kinds of audio and video formats. Some apps prefer specific formats, but QuickTime movie files (.mov), most MPEG files (.mp4,.m4v,.m4a,.mp3,.mpg), some AVI and WAV files, and many other formats usually work in most apps without additional software. Older or specialized media formats might not work in your app, because the format requires software designed to support it. If that happens, your app won't open the file or won't play back its audio or video. You might already have an app that supports the format of your file. Microsoft remote desktop connection client for mac. If you don't know which of your installed apps to try, your Mac might be able to suggest one: • Control-click (or right-click) the file in the Finder.

Hi All, I really like that QuickTime can easily and quickly record screencasts. But can someone please explain how I can save or export the resulting video in a format that will be playable on Windows natively? By natively I mean with no QuickTime, and no extra codecs etc.

So actually all I want to do is be able to export a format that is the most comptaible across all platforms. I want to ensure that if I send a video of screenshot help to a client who uses Windows, that it will work without any problem at all. The options in the export confuse me a little: 'Movie', '480p', '720p', 'iPod Touch & iPhone 3GS', 'iPad, iPhone 4 & Apple TV'. But on experimenting they all seem to export to.mov, and when I check that file format in my Windows XP install, it's not recognised. Is there a way to export to avi?
