If you're going to do the conversion on the LC, this is the procedure:

1. Use MPEG Splitter to split the audio and video into separate files.

2. Open the video file (.m1v) with Sparkle.

3a. File>Save As... to export the video to Quicktime

3b. Set the frame rate to 10 or 15.

3c. Set the codec to None, Component, or PhotoJPEG

4. Use MPEG Audio Coder to decode the audio file (.m1a) to AIFF.

5. Open your QT video file with MoviePlayer.

6. Select all the video then Copy.

7. Open your AIFF file with MoviePlayer.

8. Hold Option, and choose Edit>Add

9. File>Save As... a reference movie.

10. Export to a new movie with your favorite settings.

At that last step, be sure to resize your movie to the correct aspect ratio. Some MPEG files don't have square pixels, so they'll be too wide (352x240 instead of 320x240).

You might also want to try MPEGdec 3.1.1 to decode the audio to AIFF. It did not work well for me just now, but it might work for you.

If you've got a faster Mac, use that instead. No sense in wasting a ton of time for conversion. Just waste a little.
