???I need a way to convert a .mov file into a .avi file is this even possible?
It's possible, but it's not very easy. Well, the converting is, but there's hardly any free utils to do this, i think. I pull it through Adobe After Effects, it handles everything.
I know that QuickTime Pro can do it too, you just need to open the .mov in the QT player and export it, or something like that...
There's a new website out ... it's called Google
Let me provide you with a link: www.google.com
Although I don't know if you'll be able to find what you're looking for. When I searched for "converting .mov to .avi" it only returned 132,000 results.
Bink and Smacker Rad Tools... That's a better query for google.
Even better try mov to avi ripper
