i've used ffmpegX to convert a few avi files already and have had pretty good success encoding them in .MOV (mpeg 4) format. i see that H.264 is an option. at first i ignored it, but while cruising through apple's website, in the Tiger tour i saw that H.264 is supposed to have higher quality and a smaller files. has any one had any experience w/ H.264? -- Polonius19 Chief Malcontent & Misanthrope Urban Pacification League
