AVI TO fcp TO dvd?
I have a customer with 2 hours of .avi video files and wants a DVD made with color correction. What is the best workflow? I know I have to covert the .avi to .mov or .dv to get them into FCP, then edit, then export to Compressor the author in DVDSP2. What is the quickest way to convert the .avi files?

It’s only a start – but do you have Perian?
Go to http://www.perian.org
This is a component for quicktime that should allow QT itself to play your .AVI’s.
Then export them from QT Player to a suitable QT format (depending on original quality – DV Stream might be a good option for FCP, as it will ensure good RT Colour-correction) and edit/CC in FCP, then export via Compressor for DVDSP – some people just export MPEG2 instead of using compressor – horses for courses as far as I can tell.
See how you get on – .AVI files can contain any number of codecs for audio and video, so it may not be as straight-forward as that….

Ummm – actually not sure if Perian will allow you to export the .avi or just let you play it. See how you go…
