I'll go and swing by at my school to check out the AVI-export options on a Mac. I'll tell you later if I find it.

It might work when renaming, but the container formats have different specifications. It doesn't magically transform the specs to another container. Actually, you would be surprised how often renaming MOV to AVI works.

I didn't convert it, just changed the file extension. That doesn't make it a GIF. I double click the file and it opens, but it's not a GIF, it's just that the software can read both JPG and GIF, so doesn't distinguish between the 2. "Interesting.

Needless to say, Macs sure don't export to .wmv. Look for a windows program that can convert .mov to .avi and move the file from your mac to a windows machine. Using that windows machine, convert the file. That is how I had to do it. It wasn't a pretty workflow, and I think it degraded the quality (.wmv is a terrible format), but it worked. 60D gripped, T2i gripped, Tokina 12-24 f/4, Pentax SMC 50 f/1.4, Nikon Standard Speed Set: 24, 35, 85, 105, 135, 180, Canon 580ex, Calumet Genesis 200

I believe this is what you're experiencing by renaming your MOV to AVI. The software can read both, so no trouble. My problem is that the people I need to send the file to really, truly need an AVI format file, not just some other format with the file extension changed. I was not talking about JPG/GIF. It works only with MOV/AVI (works sometime)

Native to Mac, does what I need, plenty of options. Thanks everyone. "Interesting. You're afraid of insects and women. Ladybugs must render you catatonic." - Sheldon
