I tend to be going the other way, but I always convert *.avi or time-lapses movies to *.mov when shifting to Macs, as Apple has a pathological hatred of anything it can't charge a 30% levy for on iTunes. As avi is the Microsoft Windows format it will never be Apple Mac friendly. I always use QuickTime Pro [cost about £20 to upgrade over freebie Quicktime] for this sort of thing as it runs on Apples or PCs and being an Apple product it is Mac friendly and easy to use [as it's so basic], but it does the job. Likewise now-a-days you need to convert a Mac's *.mov video to *.avi to run it imbedded within a Windows PowerPoint presentation, whereas in the olden days Windows Office was allowed to run *.mov files.

Hi Jason and Michael,
movie converter could be another option like Any Video Converter for PC. Mac World should have even better solution, by definition.
Please share you experience at MIAWiki knowledge node on the subject:
http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/w/page/16347023/Movie%20converters
for your quicker reference in future.
With kind regards,
Dmitry
