Convert MOT to MDD

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert MOT to MDD?
Yes - MOT converts to MDD.

For interchange, bake the motion (applied to its object in LightWave) to a point-cache/motion format like .mdd that other 3D apps read. This is the practical way to move LightWave motion elsewhere; .mot itself isn't a cross-app format.
