How about MPEG movies for VBMA?

MPEG movies must be converted to QuickTime format for analysis in VideoPoint

QuickTime Pro, version 5 or 6, can do this conversion

Open the MPEG movie in the QuickTime Player

Choose File/Export from the QuickTime Player menu bar

"Movie to QuickTime Movie" is the Export choice you want

You can also click "Options" to choose your codec

After saving the resulting QuickTime movie, check it for dropped or repeating frames

Some MPEG movies may not be suitable for analysis due to an excessive number of dropped or repeating frames

Others may exhibit enough regularity to be salvaged

For example, some Sony Mavica MPEGs seem to have each unique frame in triplicate

You can use VideoPoint Capture to remove such regularly duplicated frames
