Sure, but I'm re-compressing it when I export it to DV for editing, thus
losing more quality from the MPEG2 source.

ffmpeg reports the audio track as "mp2, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 192 kb/s".

Unfortunately not. The decoder is a Telesystem TS-6290. I can't find a
page in English for it, anyhow it's this one:

I'll have to play around with iMovie a bit to figure it out. As of now,
the DV import has succeeded and I'm seeing a grid of frames.

I want to make an AVI file, probably using the H.261 codec, which I've
found to give me the most compatibility across platforms. MP3 for audio.
