-- DESCRIPTION
-- ===========

-- This script converts iMovie capture files in the DV Stream format to FCE compatible ones. To do this it converts the audio only (since that is the problem).

-- HOW TO USE
-- ==========

-- Open required iMovie capture in Quicktime. Run this script! No other movies can be open. Will only convert one at a time. For batch conversion see the droplet in this folder

-- INSTALLATION
-- ============

--This script/application must be left in it's containing folder (iMovie2FCE) since it references the export setting file (iMovie2FCEaiffsettings) at this location. Place the whole folder in your ~/Library/Scripts folder. It will not run from anywhere else. You can however make an alias to it or place the app in you dock and it will run fine 
-- QUICKTIME PRO REQUIRED

-- HISTORY
-- =======
-- v0.9 30-Dec-2005 Works ok, but requires error handling, etc.

-- TO DO
