Ok, NP. read the manual. I think you have a/v sync problems because you cpu may be too slow for the on the fly conversion and the postprocessing with the -vf switch. Any way its cool app. It's almost all the time in beta so don't worry about it. I don't think it would be too hard to fix the sound issue too, but as you wish we stop here. regards -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
