Is there any free app to convert an avi to a mov?

ABC video roll lets you do it, but unless you have quicktime pro you are going to be limited to using cinepak codec. if you have problems getting hold of it (I couldn't find a link quickly) put up a link to where its at and i'll convert it for you.

Another option is Bink. I've been using this program since the late 90's for conversions. Check out the URL above.

Depends what kind of AVI it is. AVI and MOV are just "wrappers" for content, which can be compressed with different codecs. If your Mac can read it, you can transcode AVI to MOV using iMovie . . . I don't use Quicktime on the PC, but that should work as well-- you mentioned "free" and I don't know whether you have to pony up the $29 for Quicktime Pro to do the conversion . . .

The Rad Video Tools can import .mov files, but (as far as I know) can't save to that format. I'm still running v1.6c, admittedly, so it's possible they've added that feature since. Does a nice job of converting QuickTime to AVI, though.

Semi-related: Is there a good RM to AVI converter? I've tried several of them, including the one from Boilsoft that seems to be the 'standard', but they don't work on some/most RM files.

Now that I think about it, I did use it for converting Quicktime to AVIs. I just checked again and you can't convert AVIs to Quicktime with Bink.

Grrr. Just wrote a long post, walked away from the computer, came back and hit send...and it was erased. to make a long story short, get tinra to convert from .rm to .av, stoik for .wmv to .avi, and vdub 13c (nothing newer) to do .asf to .avi and if anyone has a better free option than tinra, please clue me in!
