Movtoavi

Movtoavi is a simple command-line tool designed to turn uncompressed QuickTime videos (MOV format) into Audio Video Interleave items (AVI format), which can be either uncompressed or compressed by using the Lagarith codec.
Popular video conversion programs usually have a clean and intuitive graphical interface, where users are guided toward each button and function.
However, some people (especially avid computer users) prefer working with Command Prompt, since all the necessary parameters can be written in a command-line dialog to get fast results.
One of the main advantages of such an app relies in the fact that it does not work with the Windows Registry, since no installation is required. Moreover, you can store Movtoavi on a USB flash drive or similar storage unit, and run it on any computer.
So, all you have to do is point out the path to the file you want to convert, along with its target location and whether you want the result to be a Lagarith-compressed or uncompressed AVI item. There are no other options available through this tool.
Movtoavi runs on a very low amount of CPU and system memory, so it doesn't burden the computer's performance. It is very responsive to key strokes and quickly completes a conversion task without any issues. Power users should find Movtoavi comforting to work with, if they prefer command-line apps, even if this one has not been updated for a while.
