--
EditCap as well as TShark is not able to convert IPTrace to a libpcap format.
Suprisingly Wireshark is able to do it (when you use "File -> Save as"). Please
try converting attached trace with following commands:

c:\>"c:\Program Files\Wireshark\editcap.exe" -F nseclibpcap aix61-ping.iptrace
ping.pcap
editcap: Can't open or create ping.pcap: Files from that network type can't be
saved in that format

c:\>"c:\Program Files\Wireshark\tshark.exe" -F libpcap -r aix61-ping.iptrace -w
test.pcap
tshark: The capture file being read can't be written in that format.
