Okay, I don't know about US law, but in Danish copyright law translation  
is a specific term that I don't think applies in this case. A translation  
is a derrivative, but a translation is about either natural language  
(translating a book from English to Danish) or translating from one  
artform to another (adapting a book for a movie). Changing a file format  
 from MOV to FLV would not qualify. IANAL.
