Featuring Canon's DIGIC 4 image processor and an 18.0-megapixel CMOS image sensor - plus cutting-edge technologies like Full HD video recording, Live View shooting, wireless flash photography and even a vari-angle 3.0-inch LCD monitor - the EOS Rebel T3i offers the best of EOS photography in a compact package. This camera is also ideal for video shooting and the capturing of spectacular stills. With a new Vari-angle LCD and more Fps options in 1080p HD, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i is a fierce warrior in its class. The point here, you may find it a painful experience to import video files from Canon T3i to Windows Movie Maker for editing. And there're some frequently asked questions quoted as below.

"When I record a video on my Canon Rebel T3i and try to upload the file to my computer, it saves as a Quick Time Movie file. I have a PC and want to use Windows Movie Maker to edit my videos, and the Quick Time Movie file isn't compatible with Windows Movie Maker. Is there anyway I can choose the file type of the video???"

"I want to upload video clips from my Canon T3i to windows movie maker to make a short bike edit but it pops up with a weird error message about the wrong codec."

The problem lies in that Windows Movie Maker can not support the H.264 codec, not the .mov extension and editing and playing are not the same thing. So the simple change of the file extention means nothing to the problem. Another reason for the impressive video image quality of Canon’s EOS digital SLRs is their use of the sophisticated H.264 compression method for recording video files to the camera's memory card. This is an ideal file type for video capture in an SLR camera, delivering relatively compact file sizes with image quality noticeably superior to alternate video compressions (such as Motion JPEG). So, how to get Windows Movie Maker work perfectly with Canon T3i 1080p .mov clips?
