I downloaded my avi from my camera and tried to place it in MainActor, but MA said it was not recognized.
Strange, I check to mainactor site for you. It states that it supports avi and dv (I presume the avi files from you camera are dv avi's). Do you have mplayer install? What is the output from midentify?
Do I need to convert it to an mpeg first? If so, how do I do it again?
Well converting to mpeg is not for the faint of heart (unfortunately the mpeg container output is broken in mplayer last time I checked). You will need to use transcode: http://zebra.fh-weingarten.de/~transcode/ You will have to trancode it to an mp1 video file and mp1/2 audio file first and then use tcplex to mplex them together again.
