DV to MOV

[vpupkind]

I am trying to encode a DV file into H.264 using the Ateme encoder.
Unfortunately, Ateme accepts DV only in a MOV container.
Any suggestions how to do this without recompressing, either under Windows or under Linux?

Try using ffmpeg or mencoder, they both will work.

A rough command line:

mencoder file.avi -ovc copy -oac copy file.mov

not exact, but that's the thrust of things..

The Pro version of Quicktime will convert DV AVI to MOV. (But you have to pay $30)

Try MPEG Streamclip (http://www.squared5.com/).
Can open DV-AVI Type 2 (but not Type 1).
Can export to DV (.dv) - DV25 or DVCPRO 25.
Can export to Quicktime (.mov) - with Apple DV or Apple DVCPRO.

Good point, but this probably re-encodes, since you have to select a codec. Not too bad with DV, but I would avoid it if possible.
