I looked around a bit more and stumbled over 'DivX for Mac' which I installed and with that on board the Mpeg Streamclip showed the clip and appeared to do the conversion I wanted to MOV format. However, I couldn't get the sound to come out. I tried a few different settings but nothing helped so in the end I just dragged the AVI clips straight onto the FCP timeline, rendered it and everything just worked!
My knowledge of codecs etc is practically non-existant. Most of the time I'm doing multicam videoing of shows etc, I synchronize everything (including the sound off the soundboard if I'm lucky) and then I spend weeks of pleasure doing all the editing. Finally I practically give away the DVDs to members of the cast etc. As all the material comes from my few camcorders I never seem to have to worry about mixing in footage etc from unknown territories but I suppose I'll have to get to grips with it. Do you know if there's a dummies intro to this area Paul, Steve, anyone?
