GH13 Can I convert a MOV to AVI ~ container without re-encoding? MOV playback jerky.

[meinyvr]

Two probs.

My MOV out of hacked GH1 looks jerky. It may be my 2 yr old pc but it also plays back jerky on my xbox which plays usually everything great.

So....

There is a mov to avi transcoder but it won't work with my MOV files. Any other options to convert mov to avi.

(I did this with my old LX3 panny camera which output mov and it worked fine transocding them...when I do the same with the hacked gh1 mov files I get the error below from my transcoding softwre)...

You could try players that use optimized codecs, like MPC - Home Cinema or SMPlayer (a front-end for MPlayer). Make sure the association for *.mov is set to that player. To edit, Vegas is a great NLE to use on slower machine, or any machine for that matter.
