Ann, after Godders had looked at the file I had uploaded to the smugmug page I deleted it. It was a very large file and I didn't know how to resize it.
However, since I purchased the Imac It reads and translates AVI files on the fly. The movie is finished except for some tweaking, as soon as I can get all the kep players together. I made several dvd's from it and I am seriously blown away by the quality I am getting. I really am loving the Imac. I only have one glitch, with email, and that is my providers problem, not the computer. I still have the PC and use it for email and webbrowsing for the time being.
