I am using FC5 and want to load .avi file for editing. It appears that's not possible.

 You have to tell us which video and audio codecs those avi files
contain, otherwise we can just say "yes, it is possible".

I have begun to explore how to create .mov file from .png images, and have successfully created an .avi movie using .png images and .ogg sound file. My next step is to convert to a .mov file, and it looks like I can create a .mpeg4 file. Does Cinelerra load .mpeg4 files?

 .mp4 files are supported.  That is, MPEG4 video and AAC audio in
the MPEG4 container is known to work.
Herman:  Thanks.  I'm on an older PC with FC5.  So far, I have this much:
../ourstory/ directory with *.png images. Also with song.ogg for sound track.
Then,
$mencoder mf://*.png -mf w=320:h=240:fps=1:type=png -ovc copy -audiofile Open_Studios_theme.ogg -oac copy -o done1.avi
gave me an .avi file that plays fine in MPlayer.
Then,
mencoder done1.avi -o VCD.mpg -ofps 25 -vf scale=352:288,harddup -of lavf -lavfopts format=mpg:i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames -oac lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp2:abitrate=224 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vrc_buf_size=327:keyint=15:vrc_maxrate=1152:vbitrate=1152:vmax_b_frames=0
This takes avi file and converts to VCD.mpg, but that doesn't respond to:
$ qtinfo done1.mpg
Couldn't open done1.mpg as a QuickTime file.

So, now I'm attempting to install http://mpeg4ip.sourceforge.net/ in order to use mp4creator to convert .avi file to .mp4 file. I'm following the instructions at:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-quicktime-7.html#menc-feat-quicktime-7-example

Am I on the right track, maybe?  :)
Tom
