How to Freely Convert AVI on Mac

"I have to make a video for school and I only have Windows Movie Maker but it doesn't really matter. The problem is my files are AVI and they come up black on Movie Maker. When I preview them on Quick Time they work perfectly though. I'm guess I just need to convert them to MOV (what I normally use with Movie Maker). What free program should I use? I googled it but a lot of the programs are trials so that I can't convert the whole thing, or it flat out doesn't work."- From Yahoo Answer
