Convert Panasonic AG-DVX100B DV AVI to QuickTime MOV for playback

The Panasonic AG-DVX100B may well be the last and best semipro DV
camcorder that approach obsolescence of high-end standard-definition
(SD) video cameras. In essence, the AG-DVX100 series combines a
Handycam-like form factor with the full complement of external
professional controls and connections usually found only on bigger,
shoulder-mounted cameras. In many respects, the AG-DVX100B offers the
best of both worlds: the light weight and easy handling of a home-video
camera and the sophisticated controls of a pro rig. When it comes to
cinematic imagery, the AG-DVX100B offers the best available value in a
standard-definition (480p) camera. In this reviewer's opinion, the 24p
mode can produce video--and video transferred to film--rivaling that of
projects originated on 16mm film.

The Mini DV shootings taken with Panasonic AG-DVX100B are of good
quality with sharp image when viewing on the camera. When transferring
to Mac computer, the footage comes in .AVI format that does not play in
QuickTime player or iTunes.

If you'd like to play and rewind the AG-DVX100B video in QuickTime
player, it's better to transcode the clips to QuickTime format with Mac
HD Video Converter. For those who also want to trim out unwanted footage
