I don't know about solutions available for FreeBSD, although possible Xing make a linux mpeg encoder which would run under FreeBSD. The other alternatives for Windreck will cost you - there don't seem to be decent free mpeg video encoders available. I've got a Mpeg encoding subsystem (DVMPEG) for Windoze which I use on our video edit suite - it'll do mpeg 1 and 2 when I export from Adobe Premiere and does a very nice job. If you really can't find anywhere burn it to a CD and stick it in the mail and I'll convert it for you - at the moment our Net connection is too expensive to make downloading it an option. -- C. -- Craig Harding Head of Postproduction, Outpost Digital Media Ltd "I don't know about God, I just think we're handmade" - Polly To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
