How can I convert a quicktime movie into an avi format or any other video format?

Question

I've got a really important video that I need to put on DVD. It's a quicktime file and no program I have supports the file. Is there any way I can convert it to a avi file or some other readable video file? Thanks.

I'm looking for something free, since I'm probably going to use the program only once. Those things you gave me have free trials but don't convert the whole file, and I really dont want to fork over $30+. Any freeware?

Answer 1

I just downloaded and used a program called "Super" last night and it is very easy to use, and totally free.

You can use CuCusoft to convert any format to any other format. usually quicktime movies are in MP4 format and you would want to convert them to a DVD format or MPEG format...
