The point is

BALTHOR 26th Dec

Once again hours of work only to be stopped by a pop up in the final move.Some programs say FREE but will only render a fraction of the files.Stuff like "Will only convert the first three files" or "Puts our watermark on the finished product" or "30 seconds until shutdown.Please save your work".The last on is my favorite.

It was difficult finding a conversion program

BALTHOR 26th Dec

Some of these big time file type conversion programs didn't work at all.Long lists of file types but a waste of time.I spent two days to find one that worked.DVD/CD software goes on forever in web searches.Why wouldn't any audio/video generic software program work?You would download some HD desktop backgrounds and make your video.I'm almost afraid to try the DVD in my CD player.For your own place of business just hook up a DVD player's audio and you'll have unending music!The DVD software also will copy from CD's.It's cool software to see run.A computer at it's best.
