I have a new iMac running Lion and i am looking for a easy and preferrably free way to convert .avi files to .mov. I know there are tons, but what is the best one?

Download and use MPEG Streamclip. You may be prompted to install Perian when opening the movies.

I'm with Niel on this one. MPEG Streamclip is free, very versatile and quite powerful for your conversion needs. Maybe Handbrake, although I have always found it a bit slow compared to MPEG Streamclip.

I believe that iSky is one of the best conversion apps there is. I use Handbrake along with it , and I never have any issues. I agree that it takes a while longer, but that doesn't bother me.You may consider a Free version of video converter. You can download from here: http://www.video-converter-mac.org/video-converter-for-mac/
In fact, HandBrake doesn't support MOV as the output format. Except for this shortcoming, HandBrake is a great way to convert videos.
I used to use a little piece of program to convert AVI files to MOV on mac, happy with it.
You do realise this thread has been idle for two years?
