Converting .MOV to .AVI

Help! Has anybody had success coverting Quicktime .MOV clips to .AVI?

I converted some .MOV clips (captured originally from DVCAM tapes) to .AVI with Quicktime Pro. When I import the converted media into VV, everything works fine in the trimmer and on the timeline--video and audio dead-on. But when I print to tape, the video prints but no audio.

I tried importing the .MOV clips directly into VV. VV prepares an audio proxy file, but in the trimmer and on the timeline the audio is out of sync with the video. When I print to tape, audio gradually drifts out of sync (audio lags behind the video). When I print a second copy, some of the audio disappears.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Found a workaround. Whether or not it applies to anyone else's situation, my answer was to use Quicktime Pro to convert the .MOV files to a digital video stream (.DV files). VV imports .DV clips. They play well in trimmer and timeline, and most importantly they print to video without losing the audio track. Voila!
