Re: [Avid-L2] AVI Conversion to Avid Friendly Codec on Mac?

Have you tried Shutter Encoder. Great GUI and ffmpeg based.

Thanks for the info.  I know that my producer has Handbrake so I will have him do the conversion.  The source of the file is a national archive which had a zillion types of ways to download.  We choose the Cinepak section which offered a 160GB HD AVI.  Judging by the size it would seem it's a reasonably decent quality file.  This is a public domain movie.  The file VLC created was done in a few minutes so I find it hard to believe it transcoded 28 minutes of HD material that fast but what do I know.

From you post it sounds like Handbrake is a more user friendly front end to ffmpeg.  I've seen there are some options for QUI interfaces that use ffmpeg.
