The file format is totally different, so there's no way for Rev to be 
able to directly read an SC project without someone doing a bunch of 
reverse engineering (if it's possible). Personally I have had to do a 
small handful of SC-to-MC/Rev conversions over the years, and each time 
I've tried RunRev's converter it never worked for me, so I wrote my own 
(it's not comprehensive but did the jobs I needed it to. However it 
also assumes you have a copy of SC (although perhaps the SC Player 
might do the trick) to output the structure/scripts/etc. to XML format 
first.
