Here is a highdef movie edited with Vegas Studio. I have other editors but have found Sony Vegas Studio to be the best bang for the buck on Windows. If you cant play it with KMPlayer then its not going to play on your PC. The best Free software you can use is KMPlayer. You can use Quicktime but its just not optimized for Windows. The best player for Canon mov files is Nero Show Time.

I use Canopus EDIUS Pro 4: I convert the files to Canopus HQ format via Procoder Express for editing and have had very few problems with 'stuttering'. Nothing whatsoever bundled with the camera. which play smoothly in Windows Media Player. MOVs onto a timeline and then render to 720p wmv. The video stuttering is part of the ol PC - MOV incompatiblity for lack of a more accurate explanation.I went the QuickTime Plus upgrade route and was jumpiing through all kinds of hoops to merely look at my videos.I now use Sony Vegas Studio 9 Platinum Edition. Windows Movie Maker came with Vista, and you can download QuickTime from Apple at ages ago You can download Windows Media Encoder from Microsoft at There's a link for the regular one as well as for the 圆4 edition one. It's overly simple, and I'm sure there' better out there (at least on the editing), but it does what I need. wmv, then play with it in Windows Movie Maker. I use Windows Media Encoder combined with the QuickTime DirectShow plug-in (installed with QuickTime) to downsample my video to 720p.

I understand that if you compress it to another format/lower bit rate it will play better. I've searched for threads and found some on video stuttering.
