Re: MPG Video wouldn't fit into DVD




You've never to my knowledge mentioned what version of Windows you're using, so I wouldn't be able to do that. Should just be clicking on the column headers in Details view.

Hi zachd,
Thanks very much for your efforts to help. Can you, please, explain how
should I turn on the 'Duration' colums in Explorer? I couldn't find antwhere
how to do so. And, no, the length is not visible when I play the file (and it
does play well...!)
Thanks again,
Ed

If you play it in a player and it doesn't have the length visible or
available, or if you turn on the "Duration" column in Explorer and it
doesn't mention the length in time, then the clip is corrupt as far as I'm
aware and that's probably why it's not working.
