Thanks for the reply. I also am not a dot net fan, but the program does
work for me and the results have been satisfactory and the conversion is
multiple times faster than AnyVideo Converter, which did not even work
properly. I'll check out your suggestions. I'm a little new to video
conversions, as a neighbor asked me for help, and I discovered that there
is no good way to do this with freeware. I also tried downloading the demo
for MTSConverter, and it won't even handle a 1920X1080 screen resolution.
About a third of the program window doesn't even show up.
