I have a new Samsung camera that shoots in AVI. I use iMovie and the compression settings from Freevlog to convert it to Quicktime and there is no problem. In fact, two videos show just that, "Art Against AIDS" http://randolfe_wicker.blip.tv/file/109868/ and also "Baby Monroe" http://youtube.com/watch?v=vRmaDu7Q2nQ
I've started learning Final Cut Express and really do not like it. Once footage is in Final Cut, you can only get it out by re-importing it back into your camera and then reloading it into iMovie. If you export using regular "Quicktime Conversion" you get a huge file on your desktop. then you can reimport it into iMovie but when you reconvert using the Freevlog settings, you get a really bad quality file. I have the 3ivx program but haven't really started using it yet. Hope this is helpful. For some reason, when I post to the group, my postings never appear. So, I'll copy this and send it to those most interested in it. I'll figure out the problem with Yahoo. I had to take a different name there (Humancloner 1997) after my main email address was cancelled & my usual name "Randolfe" was "taken" (by me). I finally gave up and took the second name.
