How can I access videos from my Kodak EasyShare c875 without using the software that came with the camera?

I've shot videos using my camera. I believe the videos are .wma because they can only be played with Quicktime. I want to access the video without going through the stupid software so I can e-mail it. The problem is that the soft ware wants me to go through the Kodak website to e-mail it, and I don't want to! I can't access the camera through windows explorer when it's connected to the USB drive, and I can't find the individual pics and videos in Program files. I would have to buy a package from Quicktime to save the files, and the only way I can put it on my desktop is by creating a short cut that takes me back to the Kodak software. I'm finding that this Kodak software is very dominating; it's full of advertisements to make money. It's a good camera, but the software sucks. In other words, I want to access my videos without the Kodak software so I can e-mail and I would also like to convert it to play on windows media player.

Hi!





I have a Kodak as well and it's caused me nightmares.





I got around my problems this way





1. Uninstalled the Kodak software - Just like you, it took over my system! It's always trying to connect to the internet, wanting me to upload pictures to their service and spend money with them. I have a very low opinion of it and sometimes it wouldn't work either for me.





2. I then had to find a way to get pitures on and off the camera. I ended up with a card reader. There are loads on eBay, but two new ones I bought wouldn't work with a HP computer (but did with Dell). In the end, I bought a card reader from a very respected store, cost a little more, but it worked first time!





3. Now I could access my files on the card happily, I found Kodak save your movies in the ".mov" format. This is used only by Apple's Quicktime and cannot be read by Windows for example...





There is a free QuickTime viewer available from Apple. I wantred to burn them onto DVDs for family, but nothing would do that, unless I paid out a LOT of money for software.





Eventually I found a pretty good (freeware) program that would do it, called "DVDFlick". I think it will also convert to other fomas as well if you like?





I hope this helps a little?!
