Premiere should do it for you and it's pretty easy (I just did did this for
http://www.cafescat.com/geinpromo.htm ).

1) Start a new project and add the MPEG1 clip.  When you create a new
project, you'll need to know the dimensions of the MPEG clip (720x480, I
think).  Adding the clip is simple enough - on the file File menu, pick
Import, and then File.

2) Add the clip to the timeline - just drag and drop it.

3) Export it to whatever format you need.  Under the File menu is a "Export
Timeline" option that includes "Save for Web".  I exported as a QuickTime,
but they have several options.


This is for Premiere 6.0, but 5.x is similar enough that you should be able
to figure it out.


Let me know if you have more questions.
