  I recorded video with my Kodak camera, and the files were saved to my computer as MOV file types. How can I change that to jpg or jpeg, etc. to be able to upload them and insert them into a post? Is it even possible?
  Thank you, Anna

  See here – accepted file types https://en.support.wordpress.com/accepted-filetypes/#video

  With the purchase of the WordPress.com Premium http://store.wordpress.com/plans/premium/ or WordPress.com Business plans http://store.wordpress.com/plans/business/, you are permitted to upload the following video file types, in addition to the basic file types listed above.

  .mp4, .m4v (MPEG-4)
  .mov (QuickTime)
  etc.

  Sorry but that’s the way it is.

  re: embedding videos
  We embed videos into pages and posts and no upgrade is required unless or until you exceed your free media space allocation. https://en.support.wordpress.com/space-upgrade/

  The video embeds in posts and pages that WordPress.com supports for all of our blogs – no upgrade required are found here.

  Video shortcodes are here http://en.support.wordpress.com/shortcodes/#video

  Note to post your own videos requires a videopress upgrade unless they are on youtube or another source site that is supported and the videopress support doc location is https://en.support.wordpress.com/videopress/ As a workaround, keep in mind that you can also upload your media to another service like youtube videos and insert it into your posts from there.
