Mpg to .mov for Final Cut Pro conversion on a PC

[macsandoranges]

Hey,

I only have PCs but I work with someone who edits with Final Cut Pro on a mac. I occassionally need to convert video from mpeg to .mov for her and she has had trouble with files I've made using adobe premiere and avs video converter (she has to convert again on her end). I'm wondering if anyone with a mac who uses FCP has a recommendation for affordable PC software that best converts to a format FCP can use without trouble (can quicktime pro do this?) Here are the specifications she gave me:

> > > > full resolution,
> > > > uncompressed quicktime files
> > > > **codec - DV/DVCPRO NTSC**
> > > > 740 x 480
> > > > audio - 16 bit, 48 kHz
> > > > 29.97 fps

The mpegs I convert from are already 740x480 16/48k and 29.97

thanks!

there is one i use when im stuck on a no $ budget called Virtual Dub.

you can also get modded versions of this package that allows for mpeg conversion.

usually its the codec that prevents conversion.
If you can network the machines then sending uncompressed files is usually a lot better then having to convert them down.
