I recently purchased the Panasonic DMCTZ5 Digital Camera - Black (9.1MP, 10x Optical Zoom) 3.0" LCD, which is a great camera, great photos and great video (it even manages HD video) but as the video files are .mov, I'm unable to edit them at the moment.

I also liked the look of this camera but after reading about the video format it's put me off a bit.
It looks as if your camera should come packaged with a version of "MotionDV STUDIO" which sounds like it should do what you want ? Did you get that and have you tried it?
But I would be inclined to convert to AVI rather than leave things as MOV as AVI seems to be a more flexible format!

As with most editing software you get timelines that allow you to drag and drop image and video files in the order you want them to appear, but trying to drag a .mov results in nothing happening, no error message, no beep, just nothing.
I'll have to go down the conversion route, which isn't so bad, unless of course you take a lot of video.
I'm impressed with the camera, and the video quality that comes from it. I'm not sure if there are many compact cameras that can take HD video, and the .mov format is a slight annoyance, but I'm happy with what I have.
I have done a search just now and cant find that SW but found this

PS she tends now to borrow my cannon IXIS when she wants video to save her hassle :)
... I hadn't installed Quicktime, ops.
I've installed it again, and Quicktime, and all in all it isn't too bad. Drag and drop time line, effects, etc, but you can export the final movie to MPEG or WMV (Windows Media Video), though I think you still need to export to MOV if you wish to use the high-quality HD video clips.
A good camera though, all in all, very pleased with it (have already scratched the screen though, double ops).
