Damn. Just had an unfortunate "20/20 hindsight" moment..
Having just captured several hours of video off some 40+ tapes on my XP machine with VirtualDub and huffyuv .. I was to hand off these 70 gigs of .AVI's to my brother in law who was going to drop them into iMovie on his fancy high end mac to create a movie out of them..
it didnt even occur to me until now that perhaps a Mac can't read a huffyuv codec'd AVI..
does anyone know if my fear is correct?
If it is.. any suggestions as to what fairly lossless codec I can use that will allow Mac editing.. and I'll just have to re-compress all this stuff in it..
i hadnt noticed this Mac subforum before, and so over in Advanced Conversion a couple mentioned DV-AVI and/or Perian .. good/bad experiences with these anyone?
Im unfortunately working under a tight deadline for a memorial video.. so I just havent time to mess around experimenting on my own as Id normally do..
thanks,
nopk

DV-AVI would definitely work, it is quite standard.
I'm fairly certain Vdub will be able to encode your Huffyuv into DV (check out the Panasonic DV codec, or MainConcept).
Good luck!
