re: Can I just say, Apple users frustrate the heck out of me?

99.9999%+ of all pictures and videos taken by Apple products are for personal use, maybe to share or send to a friend with zero fricks given about file format, they just want it to work. But you want them to recreate their whole ecosystem for the one in a million time that you have to edit some videos and it takes you longer because you don’t have the right equipment.

Look, I totally get WHY apple chose this file format, I said as much in my original post. My mental frustration here is that there's a simple solution to the problem, yet apple's greed (and let's be honest, that's all it is) prevents that solution from being implemented. And you're 100% right, this is a one in a million type of thing, and I found an easy workable solution to the issue. I guess what I'm saying is, I personally, (and opinions are like @$$holes) don't feel that there was a need to re-create the wheel. So other than being out a couple of mins to process the files, this is just me complaining to complain. If you re-read my original post, there is a bit of self deprecating humor in there, so if one is smart enough to read between the lines, they can tell the OP wasn't 100% serious in tone.
