I use a shareware product called GenerexxT which works with ADPro. I
have the ADPro bacus driver. This will sit in the backgroud and or
forground and convert all frames to Abacus (8mm Exabyte Required) and
works well... Thats all on an Amiga though.

Actually ImageFX will do it as well with autofx, if I am not mistaken.
