Hi Benn, The files are very big. 600 mb or so. I downloaded them from www.archive.org. They are mpeg2 files. They have a single track "mpgeg2 muxed track" The one I was working with was called To new Horizons. but a smaller one I was having the same difficulty with was the Lucky Strike cigarette commercial. http://www.archive.org/movies/movies.php? PHPSESSID=efbcfe331820ab1b9fda3da4b0678f04 I don't know if you have the time or energy to get this and look at it. If so great...if not I understand. cheers, tim tim.molnar Digital Tao http://www.digitaltao.ca 306.585.3666 tam at em.ca
