Check around on Aminet.  I know I have seen tools to convert ANIM to other formats.  As for audio you can use Sox which you can get for both Amiga and PC (Windows or Linux.)

I can help you with the second bit:

AnimWebConverter is great for converting Anim Amiga files to AVI files for the PC.

That's backwards.  He wants to convert files TO IFF from the others.

Thank you guys for replying.

@samuraiCrow
I appreciate your input, but I wanted to know how to convert IFF anims
made in moviesetter TO avi or pc files. It was not backwards as you said.

@bozzerbigD

Thank you all !!!!

I know you're doing this out of love for the platform, but it just sounds SO painful.
Have you researched modern video editing software for the PC?
It's cheap, has more functionality, and supports modern video standards.

Hey, my Alma Mater uses current NewTek video X64 based hardware and the software packages that support it for editing and live streaming video and it's SO much more capable than legacy technology.
That's not cheap, but even simple, low cost editing software like the Movavi video suite makes more sense.

Unless your focus is distributing media to others using legacy Amiga hardware (or emulation packages), I don't get it.
Then again...sometimes creating something retro is is more about the doing than the practicality.

So, as an Amigan, I guess I don't have a right to question your motives.

I think FFMPEG may be your solution for converting there files. It is difficult to use at first, but incredibly powerful. Using it you can convert from almost any format to any other format. It is available on the Amiga, but requires a ton of memory and an 040 CPU. The PC version works great. I can help figure out the syntax for converting your file if you are still interested

Depends on which formats are accepted by Moviesetter and at what sampling rate. I guess it needs IFF 8SVX with limited sampling rate. Resampling and format conversion may be done with Audacity (GUI application) or SoX (commandline tool). Audacity runs on Windows and Linux, SoX too, but there are also ports of SoX to Amiga.

Audio Thunder is the software you want to convert the audio files. Just copy the files to the Amiga and run them through Audio Thunder.
