Tell me how to convert a MOV file to an AVI format!

[heymike]

Hello you guys!

I have difficulty converting MOV files to AVI ones.
To get to the point, I do not know which tool to use for converting files.
Would you like to recommend a good software?

In addition, I already have installed MOV codec and don't need Quicktime.

Thanks in advance :)

You can use QuickTime Pro, if you are willing to shell out the $30 (I think it's worth it).

I used to think MOV was vastly superior to AVI, but the way MOVs can pop-up as many web-ads as they want, unstoppably, while playing back, has make me rather sick of them.

The pop-up thing probably never worked on a PocketPC anyway, but the only way to avoid it on a desktop is to use something like VLC (I don't know about WMP with QuickTime, the Mac version is quite limited).

alternative method(if you have video edit magic 3+)

1.import the file(make sure you have quicktime installed)
2.then go to file>>export
3.Select the encoder(avi)

voila !!

If you want to do away with the conversion, I would recommend u to use pict pocket. It plays naive .mov(my friend told me)

Thanks... I've made some movs out of avi files although they are not good enough to my taste...

By far the easiest solution is the free fairuse wizard (http://www.fairusewizard.com/lang_en/) software. You just choose the auto configuration whenever possible and it does everything.

I just joined the Forum, so excuse me for this tardy reply, but others may find this useful.

About two months ago I bought Allock converters. They all seem to work well. They have a MOV converter. You can try it out on a trial basis to see if it works.

As I said in another thread, I have had their avi to WMV conversion crash a few times, so not sure if that is my problem or Allok's.

I suspect it is my PC since I have about a bazillion firewalls, anti-virus, spyware detection, etc. all running on my PC. One of those has to be crashing the program or causing a conflict. History has shown me that most programs that crash are due to my PC's having so much crap on them :bangin:

Stay tuned.
