    Help w/converting video clips

    I have a bunch of video clips that I would like to burn to DVD but Shrink says it can't read the file when I try to open. And when I use a burn program such as Record Now, it tricks me by saying it is burning to disc but when I try to play it in the player it says files not found. Does anyone know what I can do?

    What video format are the original clips in presently?

      that's the thing. I don't even know. In the "type of file" column, it just says video clip, and when I right click to properties, the only type of format I see is MPEG Layer-3.

        Try opening one of the original files in "VirtualDubMod" ("File" > "Open Video File"). Then go to "File" > "File Information" and post everything that is listed in both the video and audio sections of the dialog box, or post a screenshot of the information. Alternatively, you could also use "GSpot".

          What are the filenames, INCLUDING the three letter extenders?

              Nope, that's not it.
              TS means it's a telesync, and POT is the (illegal) group that released it to the web.
              POT stands for Pirates Of the Theatre.
              It's most likely an avi, and it will probably be 14.985fps, using a hacked DivX Div3 mpeg-4 codec.

                If "reboot" is correct, you are seeking assisitance regarding an illegal copy of commercial media - and that is a violation of the rules of these forums...

                  It looks like it is an avi file. If this is illegal then I apologize to everyone and won't seek further help on the matter. I appreciate your feedback, though. Thanks.
