Question

I've sent an .avi video clip to someone but they can only play the first 4 seconds then it stops. I'm viewing it ok using Windows Media player 9, is there any way of converting .avi into .mpg files?

Cheers

Sal

Try looking on www.tucows.com
Lots of Freeware/Shareware to try.

Never tried converting to mpeg bug have an avi2vcd convertor.

try using vcdhelp.com

Prob easier to either download a divx player from downloads.com or getting the other person to download a copy of windows media player 9 as this can play avi type file.

I'll second TMPGEnc. Great for creating VCD's.
