I saw that, and in fact that's what I'm using as my library. But I  
need to convert the file into Hinted Movie format. In quicktime, it's  
under File -> Export -> Hinted Movie

What would I write in ':as' if I wanted to do that? Or where could I  
get a list of possible file conversions for this?
