[Hidden-tech] Convert iMovie AIC files to MPEG 4

[Tom / Reelife Productions]

George,
there's a bunch of other converters (cleaner, flipformac, compression
master) but they can get very expensive (because they do a lot). there's
also a app called mpgeg streamclip and DVDxDV that are cheap but i don't
think  they can do what you want...worth investigating though.  If they're
on an external firewire drive...bring it to the reelife world headquarters
and I'll take a look at them for you...see what we can do.--
Regards,
