How to convert AVI to QuickTime MOV on Mac (OS X 10.6 included)


If you just want to play AVI footage, either from digital camera like Cannon, or any other AVI videos from other sources, shared from a friend who has a PC or downloaded from the internet, you can install QuickTime component Perian, which helps you play almost any AVI files encoded with different codecs. However, if you want to upload these AVI videos to iTunes for organizing or for putting on your iPod/iPhone, you need to convert them to iPod compatible format like QT MOV first.

Note: If the AVI file is encoded with a codec that QT, iMovie, FCP can’t recognize, like Divx, Xvid, you won’t be able to import them to iMovie without a proper codec installed.
