How to convert mov (MPEG4 + AAC) to avi without re-encoding?

Sorry for the mistake. Of course if you use DirectShowSource or Open it with any plug-in, you get an uncompressed file. And obviously "The direct stream copy" will leave it uncompressed.

Also Yamb can convert MOV to MP4 losslessly.

Thank you. But I encounter the same problem (A/V slightly out of synch) as described in my last post.

You might convert MOV to a more common format like AVI
As for the solution, I suggest try Faasoft MOV to AVI Converter or Format Factory (www.pcfreetime.com).
