I never saw the first of your posts? It is not coming up on my newsreader or via 'get all references'. But this little tidbit has enabled me at least to play it with VLC without needing to put the CD in, so thanks. I did not see anything called Advanced Open File but I still was able to open the movie, so it was a clue, thanks. Next I need to know what is cheapest thing to buy to convert the 275MB vob file to mpeg-2. Will the Apple playback component be sufficient to do the job? I get confused because it is not playback for me that is wanted, it is to convert to mpeg-2. I want a "Convert to MPEG2 from anything component"! <g> -- dorayme

I wouldn't use MPEG2 -- flv is the standard these days. -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer

What is going on? Perhaps you placed the humongous prick in your kill file, where he undoubtedly belongs. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Ah, JR, always good to hear from you. Being killfiled doesn't affect _me_. Kill a cop for christ, JR. -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer |
