I have a large (nearly 300 MB) MOV file that was made on a Mac with Quicktime. I am only able to hear the audio; and not see the video on my PC. I believe the problem is that the file has the iCod codec, which isn't available for PC. I was wondering if anyone would be able to:
1) tell me how to convert using a PC
2) be able to convert the file and send it back to me in a PC-readable format
I am somewhat familiar with this technology, but but no means am I advanced. That is why I'm coming here to get information from the experts. Thank you in advance!

1) you can't . ICOD is the fourcc for Apple Intermediate Codec. It's one of the few that are completely incompatible with PCs
2) On a Mac, you could use uncompressed, animation codec, png => these will all be wrapped in .mov container. Then if you have quicktime or quicktime alternative you should be able to read them -
Poison:
1) I kinda figured that was the case
2) sorry, I'm not really following that. I was basically asking if someone would take the file and convert it for me and then send me the converted file.
Thank you for your help though
Baldrick:
I tried Quicktime Pro (managed to get a refund from Apple after it didn't work) but I haven't heard of mpeg streamclip. I will give that a shot if I cannot find someone in the forum who wants to convert it for me on their Mac.
