sorry entered that last thread by accident. What I was tryiung to say was... I want to take my edited .avi from Final Cut Pro (Mac) and convert it so it can be compressed using Canopus Procoder. I am aware that I can export the clip as a Quicktime file but I'm a little concerned that I will lose some quality by doing so. I really want to keep it as a .avi and convert that file so ProCoder (PC) will support it. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions? thanks
