What can cause movies to play some times and not play at other times?

I did a fast convert using Episode Pro but probably a $500 Mac program isn't what you are looking for.

Yep, that plays as expected - I got the mild impression that it was a different size in the player, tho.

And nope, I don't want to spend anything at all to convert these, if I can avoid it. I'm looking at a free free converters from nonags, but I'll have to wait til tomorrow to test them out.

That does seem like a good test of concept.

I'll give another rteport on this tomorrow.

I just grabbed a default settings file so it was probably the wrong aspect ratio.

This is the program that I'm using to generate the H.264 movies for Angel's new site and I spent a week tweaking the settings files for those.

It's amazing how many variations of mpeg there are.
