Hi Julie,
well, ffmpeg should work for an H264 movie, e.g.
ffmpeg -i infile.avi -pix_fmt nv12 -f avi -vcodec rawvideo outfile.avi
This creates an NV12-coded avi file which can be opened by ImageJ. NV12
causes no compression losses in addition to those caused by H264
compression already.
You can also convert the movie with Virtualdub into an AVI with raw
format. Select Uncompressed RGB/YCbCr as compression.
If you decompress the movie into single files, this should also work. Use
File>Import>Image Sequence to open all files as a stack in ImageJ.
Michael
