Changing the format of sound files and .avi files

[AMkyle]

hey i have one big problem, i dont know how to change a .avi file taht i have for an animation to a .mov file. could someone show me how.

 

also i got a sound recrding program called audacity that i found on these forums and i made some sound files from it but i dont know how to change the format of the sound to .wav.

 

if anyone has any comments or suggestion that'd be great because i have no clue how to change the format.

Until I can track down another example perhaps this will do?

 

Instead of importing a sequence of files you are importing your AVI movie.

- Then from the File Menu

- Make sure you have your Project Workspace open (VIEW/Project Workspace on the Menu)

- RIGHT CLICK on the shortcut to your AVI file

- Select 'Save As Animation'

- Locate the File type and compression you want (I suggest .MOV with Sorensen 3 compression)

- Done.
