Can you recommend a high quality Quicktime to AVI converter?

FCP can do this directly… file/export/using qt conversion…

Or Compressor, so that it can happen in the background.

Per Apple’s tech notes, Quicktime is limited to one gig. I’ve actually gotten a little over two gig before the avi becomes unusable, but there is a limit to avi’s you can output from FCP. The limit I’ve discovered is around ten minutes or so. I haven’t fine tuned it any closer, execpt that I know 15 minutes doesn’t work.

Take a look at ‘MPEG Streamclip.’
It is available for Mac & PC at:

and as it’s free, you will be guaranteed to get your money’s worth …

Thanks, I downloaded it last night. I guess I erased the old files since I can’t find them now. I’ll turn out a new 29:30 quicktime file today and try it out. I was encouraged to see that they state there is no quality loss in converting quicktime to AVI.

I’ll bet there is a long line of Mac purists that would argue that point. (In case my ‘subtle’ jab isn’t clear, I’ll bet there is a long line of Mac purists that would argue that the avi format can’t hold a candle to quicktime.) I have no desire to argue that point, especially since I think it’s very likely true.

Thanks again,
