I am using GOM Encoder to convert a MOV.file to a AVI.file. However, when I open the mov. file in GOM Encoder, it says the codec for the MOV. file is missing. Even if I use the Codec Finder, it's no use. How can I install the codec to it? Or is there any other free software or method that can convert the whole MOV. file to AVI. file?

If the codec for MOV file is missing, then you are not able to do anything about it. You should redownload the codec or try other converter which supports it.

With the right application, converting a MOV video file to MP4 is not a hard thing to do. If you are not sure what application you should use to do the work, then I would like to recommend Leawo Video Converter to you, as it is by far the most powerful, user-friendly and personalized video converting program I have ever used.

How to Convert AVI to MOV on Mac OS X Lion
You might have many AVI files, either from digital camcorders, like Cannon, shared from a friend who has a PC or downloaded from the Internet, stored on your hard drive. And Apple has reported that "Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format" is playable on Mac and iOS devices. But if your AVI files are happened to be other AVI files instead of those usable ones, e.g. they are encoded with a codec that QuickTime can't recognize, like DivX, XviD, in these cases, if you want to add these AVI videos to iTunes for organizing, edit AVI in iMovie, or playback on your iPad, iPod or iPhone, etc., you need to convert AVI to MOV or other iOS and Mac OS compatible formats.
If you have QuickTime Pro installed, you can convert AVI to MOV Mac directly. Just choose MOV as the output format by selecting "Save as".

For some reason, my video is a .mov file and when I try and import it into Windows Media Player to rotate my video, it says that file type is not supported. What can I do?

First of all, you can't rotate a video without some expensive software installed on your computer and even then, the results will be poor at best. Download Quicktime from Apple to play your video...it's a free download.
