Hi Caleb, In FCP you can tweak out your settings to match your input source (640x480 15fps), but your probably still going to have to render it out because it's .AVI and FCP has no preset for this sort of thing. That's the route I would go, so you don't have to do the weird converting and resizing (640x480 to 720x480 and DV pixels to square pixels). Play around with your sequence presets, you'd be suprised at all the wacky formats you can edit in.
