  how to convert AVI to Quicktime

  Posted by Joe Murray on May 26, 2005 at 2:57 pm

  I’ve got an AVI that I need to convert to Quicktime DV or uncompressed for editing. Quicktime can’t open the file, even on PC. I have cleaner on Mac and it won’t open it either. Is there a utility that will handle this?

  thanks-

  Premiere Pro does a fine job with this kind of transcoding, typically.

  You could try the Flip4Mac QT decoder. It allows WMVs and some AVIs to open in QT on the mac. What codec is the AVI using? Canopus ProCoder might be able to help as well, if you are willing to spend some money.
