AVI to FCE

[ercw]

My boss gave me his "flip Video camera" (records in AVI) to edit some od his clips in FCE. Now, I already got the Xvid Codec componment so I can play the files in QT but is there any quick way around to convert these pesky AVI files to DV so I can import them in FCE? quick time pro?


Thanks

Ok so I dowmloaded StreamClip (sweet app)
Here is what I didn't expect :
-a 22MG Avi file becomes a 160MG DV file
-When I try to play it in FCE, I have to render the audio because the audio wont play in the canvas.
- I also can actual import the native AVI file in FCE but I noticed it is 30FPS as opposed as 29.97 in my sequence settings So, again , the Unlimited RT wont do and I have to render the whole thing b4 I can do editing which takes a long time and i,pairs the workflow of this project.

hmmmm

Re file size: ... yeah, that's just the nature of DV.

Re Audio: Known issue with final cut that Apple won't "fix". You might get around this by checking "resample audio to 48KHz" in MPEGStreamclip

Re frame rate: How did you export the video in MPEGStreamclip?
File-> Export to DV should let you specify NTSC 720x480 29.97 fps.

Good luck!
