Maybe the easy use of ffmpeg will work? % ffmpeg -i in.mov out.avi See "man ffmpeg" for more details. Of course mencoder can do the conversion as well: % mencoder -ovc lavc -oac lavc -o out.avi in.mov Other options might be needed if you need to change quality, resolution, aspect ratio or frame rate, or use a different codec (because AVI is just a container, it can hold different formats for the video and audio information). % mencoder -ovc xvid -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=92 -xvidencopts bitrate=150 -o out.avi in.mov Maybe you can also use the avidemux2_gtk program, but I can't promise it will properly import MOV files... -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
