G'day LOTR. Thanks for your reply. (By the way, is that penguin drunk?) I've been using Version 0.5.2.99...quite an oldie but it's done everything I've wanted...until now! I loaded the latest version, and it doesn't recognize the format. By the way, I took your tip to open 'properties' and the codec is Xvid. I loaded TMPGEnc. It worked fine...except something happened to the audio track. It suddenly stopped after a few minutes. I'm still working on it...have downloaded 7 or 8 new apps I didn't know existed! We'll get there!!!hopefully! Thanks again.
