Hi Stephen, If the 30 seconds are important to you, ask the person who created the DVD to send you another copy.
And hey Stephen, your comment: /quote Sorry but I tried so many different things that I forgot about the above (it's a bugger once you turn 65 !) /end quote Remember "Age is not an excuse - Age is a privilege"! You are younger than I, and I cherish and put as much as I can into every day I have on this earth. As Maurice Chevalier said "Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative." And.. I never say the word "old" I only say "older" ;-) Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad On 16/04/2012, at 9:38 PM, Stephen Chape <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for your valuable assistance Ronni. > I will have to live without the last 30 seconds of this video ! > > On 16/04/2012, at 8:00 PM, Ronda Brown wrote: > >> Hi Stephen, >> >> There sounds like there is some corruption or fault with that 'problem clip'. >> If the rest of the DVD files convert fine, there has to be something wrong >> with that clip. >> >> Toast does not have any problem converting non-protected DVDs. >> Toast can not convert Commercial protected DVDs. >> >> Every application you have tried has faulted on the 'problem clip'. >> >> Cheers, >> Ronni >> >> Sent from Ronni's iPad >> >> On 16/04/2012, at 7:30 PM, Stephen Chape <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Thanks for the DV advice Ronni ..
