I am so frustrated with Microsoft not accepting .mov files as capture archives for Window Media Encoder. So i have fell in love with Rad Tools.

Here is my issue:

I use OSX and OS 9.2 on a mac religiously. I have been using Virtual PC and Rad tools to handle my MOV to AVI conversion. It is fantastic.. but Windows Media Encoder won't support my output, unless I choose uncompressed. Which is not an option.

I don't know what is the best loss less codec for AVI conversion. I tried using divx and the image looked great. But Windows Media Encoder, wouldn't accept it as a source file.

I was at a friends house the other day and saw a bunch of codecs listed in his options for AVI conversion in Rad tools. He didn't know how he got them or what they were.

What is the best AVI codec (preferably free) that can be used as the transfer from MOV to AVI to Window Media Encoder. And more importantly.. where can i get it.

Oh.. and if anyone has a better way of doing this let me know. Cleaner 5 isn't cutting it anymore, since it doesn't support WMP V8.

Thanks a bunch.
