[rotuts]

I DL's two similar .flv file from the Net not DMR etc

I had hoped to put them on my Pad/Pod and show them around.

I have ElGato turbo.264 and handbrake and Videora.

the first file ElGato did fine.

the second it claimed it could not recognize

they seem the same to me

of course Handbrake and Videora were not interested at all

here are the files:

Forget the ElGato dongle for now. Try MPEG Streamclip. If that doesn't work, try QuickTime 7 Player Pro (assuming you bought the key).

Is the uncooperative file available for download anywhere? I can try it with my setup and upload the conversion if successful.

Streamclip worked fine. forgot all about that program as I havent used it in a while.

odd though that ElGato saw the files differently, as to my eye the file info looks the same.

many thanks again!
