Convert an avi file (IV50 codec) to a Quicktime file

Convert an avi file (IV50 codec) to a Quicktime file I found this old CD of video clips that are all .avi files, I've found out the codec is IV50 (Indeo v5). They won't open in VLC in Mac OS X but do open in WMP9 on my Windows machine. Does anyone know of a converter program that supports converting from IV50 to some usable Quicktime format (hopefully MPEG4)?

"ffmpeg and MEncoder (comes with Mplayer) are probably the two most comprehensive video conversion/decoding/encoding tools available. I'd suggest giving them a try.

I think MEncoder may utilise codecs on the system [not certain about this], so I would try doing the conversion on a windows PC that is capable of playing them as that way you know you have a valid codec for the format."

While meGUI is not the most user-friendly tool around, it's an amazing converter with high-quality presets for MP4. Also, since it uses AviSynth for input, anything that plays in WMP will work on it.
