Windows

I recently purchased one of those new wave of point & shoot digicams (canon SD780) that shoot high definition 720p video.

Unfortunately it only writes to Quicktime files.

How can I go about editing these in Windows without spending any money? I found a few MOV to AVI or WMV converters but am experiencing some quality degradation in the output.
