I came a bit late to this, but i don't think anyone has just suggested dropping the video clips onto iMovie? If you have a Mac and iMovie, you should be able to drop any clip that Quicktime can play onto iMovie's clip pane. It'll convert the clip to DV, stretching it as need to fit the standard ratio window -- or so it has for the times I've used it. Then you can put the clips together, arrange them, edit them, add chapter markers, and then Share to iDVD to make your DVD that will play in a TV DVD player. I've used this for various filetypes, even YouTube videos I've snagged. (Okay, I admit I've forgotten if I converted the .flv file to something else first before dropping on iMovie. I know I've dropped .wmv and .mov and other files on it.) The quality, of course, leaves a lot to be desired once you've grabbed a web video, converted and stretched it, but it's not unwatchable... usually. :) -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
