SmartVid is a codec independent, bi-directional video file converter which converts between the Microsoft Video for Windows AVI format and the Apple QuickTime MOV format. SmartVid is run from the DOS command line with the options described above.

SmartVid was designed to convert a file regardless of the video codec used to compress the image. It simply copies the data streams without attempting to decompress the images. As a result, some of the video files may not play on the target platform if the video codec is not supported on that platform.

In addition to supporting all video codecs, SmartVid also supports all audio formats. However, the only audio format that will be played properly in both AVI and MOV files is uncompressed PCM audio data. This is represented in AVI files as the format WAVE_FORMAT_PCM. In MOV files, this data is represented in either 'raw' or 'twos' complement form.

SmartVid will copy all audio streams, but if the audio data is not in PCM format, SmartVid will display warning messages (if the Warning flag is set).
