It started out with a bunch of .rar files. I've never ran into those before. Anyway, figured out how to deal with it and got the video but there was a error about "unexpected end of data" in the last .rar file. The others were fine. I suspect that is what lead to the video playing longer than it shows. The end result was a .avi file. It plays fine until the last bit, where it goes past the expected end. I've never dealt with this before so it could be a one time thing or it could be expected behaviour that needs fixing. Just in case, I'd like to know how to fix it for this one and any others I run into. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
