Thanks Nathan for this information. I converted one of my home
movie .avi files to QuickTime 6 (*.mov) with the help of my
video editing program (Sony Vegas). Although Quicktime played
the converted movie OK, iTunes 6, could not import the file and
gave the following error message:

The file test.mov cannot be imported because it does not appear
to be a valid exported file.

Does anyone know whether Apple has produced a conversion
program that will convert .avi files to the format that iTunes6
requires? Thanks for your help.

Gary
