I know this is a long-shot, but could there possibly be any incompatibility due to the different video format that her British relatives originally used to record the video? I know the computer formats should be the same from country to country, but..........
The computer formats may be the same but the video formats are not. The videos are all in Pal format vs the North American NTSC format. However, I am not sure if this really makes a difference once they load them onto the computer. I would not be able to play a PAL format video on my VCR but if it was digitized on a computer, I believe I can access it on my PB, similar to what I am doing now.
I have been able to access them using the VLC Streaming/Exporting wizard but when I try to play back in iMovie, there is a lot of video and sound stutter.
Apple has recommended the MPEG-2 Playback Component add on but the girl I spoke to at Apple did not seem very sure as to what it actually was for...just that it MIGHT help.
