Finally figured out that the .dss files come from an AverMedia
surveillance device. I was able to get dss2avi to transcode it. But
the only output codec for that app is Indeo 5.1. Fortunately this
still works on Windows XP. And the result plays in Windows Media
Player (which has not way of exporting to a useable codec for FCP).
But no other app I have found so far (like ConvertAVItoMP4) is able to
deal with the resulting AVI files. It might be a proprietary version
of Indeo that is the problem. I may never know.
If anyone can think of an app on Windows that might work here let me
know. Premiere works on Windows, but I am not going to purchase
Premiere for Windows.
For all of Quicktime's issues we could be in a lot worse shape.
Thanks much, James
