So, what I need to do is convert this 353 Mb file into a format that standard DVD players can handle and will fit on a 4.7gig disk. I tried using Movie Maker to convert it to AVI but it somehow wanted to turn 353Mb into 8 Gb’s which of course wouldn’t fit on disk. :groan: Soooooo, how do you guys go about such projects? :thanks	B.M.

However, after about two hours I get another disk that works fine on any computer but not on the lounge DVD player. Now, I had the choice of encoding it to Pal or NTSC or NTSC Film or Mixed. I chose Pal because I thought that was what we ran in NZ but it won’t work. (By the way the DVD player works fine on any commercial DVD.) Any tricks I may have missed using DVD Flick? :confused:	B.M.
