Cameras often play ONLY their specific format with their specific
headers. They are written to expect that header, and no other. You
will find the same situation with many programs that produce JPEG files
that most cameras can't handle.

Greetings WW,

Not sure you can do that WW if you are using a Kodak camera. Actually, the
QuickTime MOV is an industry-standard format used by many digital
still-picture camera manufacturers. As with the JPEG format that is used for
still images (the primary purpose of EasyShare cameras), the QuickTime MOV
format provides a video capture file that can be used on most computer
operating systems and platforms.

Kodak EasyShare digital cameras include the free QuickTime Player software.
If you're interested in more sophisticated editing capabilities, there are
many MOV editors available from several companies. I think Apple gets around
$25 or so for an upgraded version that lets you edit and export the MOV to
other formats.

If you change a Kodak image file header, the file will not likely work in
your camera any longer.

Talk to you soon, WW, let me know if have any other questions.
