Sounds like your friend has got Avid's native OMFI files, for which there's almost certainly no readily-available converter. Best bets are (a) get hold of the original video source and capture it yourself to a format your editing software uses; (b) find someone with Avid, and have them export the files in a format you can edit (apparently professional editors would export to QuickTime to swap files with each other).

You don't need to do it in the terminal, you can use synaptic if you wish. It doesn't really matter which way round you do it.

Hi Tony, I've not run any disk diagnostics. Mainly because (rather shamefully) the extent of my disk checking knowledge is know that fsck runs automatically every 30 boots. I'm reading up on the subject now, and I'll think I will try and put something on the ubuntu community docs, as I couldn't find anything there. One thing I noticed when I booted into an Ubuntu7.04 Live cd (the only one I can find at this time on a Sunday morning!) is that when booting, the system put a lot of messages about my webcam up. On booting back onto the main system, dmesg shows a lot of the following: [ 391.728000] usb 5-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 46 [ 391.884000] usb 5-6: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [ 391.884000] /build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-2.6.22/debian/build/build-generic/media/gspcav1/gspca_core.c: USB SPCA5XX camera found.(VC0321) [ 392.096000] /build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-2.6.22/debian/build/build-generic/media/gspcav1/gspca_core.c: Failed to configure camera [ 392.096000] gspca: probe of 5-6:1.0 failed with error -5 [ 392.096000] usb 5-6: USB disconnect, address 46 So I suspect the camera may be faulty.
