Hi a friend of mine sends me video clips of family and friends in the
USA in avi format. I am having great difficulty in converting the AVI
files to the correct format ie Pal for the UK to be able to play on my
home dvd player and TV.
I have tried a lot of software programs but they all seem to produce
very similar problems for example missing sound, jerky video or as the
film progresses the sound going out of sync.
Would appreciate suggestions as to how I can overcome these problem by
recommending a suitable software programmer and what settings to use
and type of dvd to use .
TIA
Tony
