Trip to Minneapolis 2008 (scuba diver feeding fish)

This video segment of my first vacation in 8.1 years involves something I've never seen outside TV. I was at the Aquarium in the Mall of America and, by chance, I found a scuba diver feeding the fish. This was around 3:00 PM. I just hit the record button and got a few minutes of it. There is sound, thanks to finding a working MOV to AVI converter.

What MOV to AVI converter did you use? I've yet to find a good one.

Pazera Free MOV to AVI Converter (after ~15 tries). Virtual Dub will only read it if I used MJPEG (motion JPEG). Although Kbps seems to be limited to a terribly low 2000 Kbps (that's bad for a 640x480 video, but okay for 320x240), you can type in something much bigger like 15,000, which'll ensure maximum quality (this is useful when doing multiple edits). Earlier, it was Bink, but an error occurs upon conversion stating it can't find the sound track, leaving me without any sound.

I used to go to the Mall of America all the time, lived 30 minutes away.

Well, I'm 8 hours away (9 1/2 if including rest stops and eating) and there's still quite a few things I have yet to see there (it is, after all, roughly a million square feet, using Google Maps as a guide - 1300x800 feet; ignores space from multiple floors).

I hope that I can one day experience this in person as well. You're a lucky guy!
