I find myself in a hornets' nest in the video world. Maybe someone has
some advise other then get out of it.
I am an actor. I have a three minute VCR reel that I want to upload to my
agent on the internet. Here are the details:
I have Windows Xp computer with drives D and E
I have (purchased) a SONY RDR-VX530 Video Cassette Recorder / DVD Recorder
and made recordings from my VCR reel to to a DVD -RW and a DVD+RW. The
Sony recorder allowed me to use either "VIDEO" or "VR" formats. I tried them
both. I have no problem playing the DVD's at home on two different
players.
Here is the problem:
When I tried to upload the video to my Agency on the internet, it did not
work, so I mailed them a copy and got the following response:
"Unfortunately, the video clips you tried to upload were done directly from a
DVD, and what you actually need to do to get them to work is to convert the
file found on the DVD into an Mpeg-1 or Mpeg-2 format using a photo editing
software, either at your home or by contacting the company from which you
received the DVD."
Well I downloaded the AML Power Video Converter and converted the DVDs to
MPEG-1, MPEG-2 etc but nothing seems to work. Now I cannot even play them
on the computer. The subject of plug-in converters pops up with the Microsoft
Window player. Do I need to download a plug-in converters? Which one? Will
they now become part of my computer and also part of the DVDs?? Will this
allow me to upload on the internet? It get more and more confusing.
Can you help?
