This I'll definitly look into. For the first time last night I had the
wrong
framerate the the audio and video became misaligned, so it's pretty
important.

I'm hoping the AVISynth scripts/engine will read this and translate it to
an AVI the converter could read. If not, I don't see doing much work for
it because it's in such a limited usage...I've never seen one myself.

There are filesize limitations? I'll definitly check it out...I didn't
even
know about that. I guess my movies aren't big enough(about 100 meg...just
TV shows).


Thanks,
John
