converting avi to mov

Hi - looking for a free converter to convert my avi files into mov files for quicktime. Any help appreciated.

thnx

Mike

Your best bet would be quicktime pro. It’s pay though (30 US dollars).
If your avi uses a cross-platform codec like cinepak or indeo (3,4, or 5) you can use the smartvid utility from intel.
There are third-party video editing programs that will allow for the production of quicktime movies. One that comes to mind is the Camtasia Producer found in Camtasia Studio. It has a 30-day free trial. It requires you to check all authoring options when you install the quicktime player though. Camtasia is by no means the only program that will do it though. Keep researching some and you might find more.

I don’t have a clue what I am doing. I have home movies off of my camcorder and they were on an SD card when I put them on my computer they I guess loaded under AVI or something but when I burn them to a DVD it won’t play in my DVD player. Why is that and do I need to convert them to something else before I burn them for them to play in my DVD player?????
