Need to convert Google Earth tour files to AVI video
“Hello all, is there a way to convert .kmz or .kml Google Earth tour file into AVI format? I read about a Movie Maker Module for Google Earth Pro, but it’s too expensive for me, so I’m wondering if the situation has changed so someone with Google Earth Free is able to convert a .kmz or .kml tour file in to some type of regular movie file format like AVI. Any ideas on this?”
The KML (Keyhole Markup Language) is just a XML file. It is not a video file. The KMZ is just the KML file zipped up and the extension changed to KMZ. You can use a screen capture application like Screen Recorder to capture the screen and create a video in AVI or other formats like MP4, WMV, MOV, AVI, TS, and F4V.
