Hi Charlie,
Microsoft's Video for Windows Developers Kit contains a Mac floppy
which has a converter utility on it. This reads in the playback
information from the AVI file and makes a Mac resource, essentially
imitating a Mac QuickTime file.
Although I haven't gotten hands-on with this utility, there is
apparently a problem with audio-video interleave… AVI likes
strictly interleaving one snippet of sound with every snippet of
video, while QuickTime has a looser weave and chunks data every
half-second or so.
Nels Johnson of the SF Canyon Company, the main architects of
QuickTime for Windows, has a TRMOOV utility which apparently handles
this conversion in a different fashion. It's available in his book
(sorry! have forgotten the name!), and is also, I believe, somewhere
here on CompuServe.
So there *are* some routes to achieving this conversion out there…
hope this lead is what you need!
