Converting QT .mov to other formats
I need to convert a quicktime movie to real movie and to windows media, since it will be distributed to PC users and my boss asked that i include multiple file formats on the disc. any recommendations on the best (free is always good) way to do this? i have iMovie, FCE, and QT5 Pro, but none of them seem to do this job that i can figure out. thanks.

WMV-9 will be supported as soon MS releases the WMV-9 codec for OSX. Discreet can then implement this.
I thought there was a free QT>>WM app out there...
i tried playing the QT .mov on a pc today that had quicktime installed and it still wouldnt recognize the file. at this point i will take any file that a pc can read, but it seems like it cant read much. <resisting pc bashing urge>
i noticed FCE will allow for an mpeg-4 conversion, but i understand that mpeg-4 wont work on a PC, but an mpeg-2 will. if this is true, what can i use to convert to mpeg-2? i found a pc-app that will allow me to convert to .rm once i get a file format it can read.

the only concern is we want to make this video easy for our customers to view, and not have them download software to do it. many of them wouldn't even try if it required extra effort. we are not talking about a necessarily computer-savvy industry.
