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

[GEFORMAN at aol.com]

Thanks Rich,   

Actually we discovered that the free ware application we are now using, 
mpegstreamclip, squeezes the HD files when we convert to 320 by 240 window size.   
Humans look like Martians (I surmise).   Quicktime Pro compresses to the new 
aspect ratio nicely by adding black bars on each side of the 320 by 240 window. 
But Quicktime Pro does not batch process compressions.   We will give 
memcoder a try.   Might need an IT person to help us create the batch code.   

Ciao,
George
