I use pinnacle studio 8 and pinnacle expression to author and
burn DVD

1. Does anyone know how to convert pinnacle dv AVi into
standard AVI?

2. when I convert it into mpeg2 (for SVD or DVD)

in Studio 8 pinnacle expression doesn't accept it
as input file?

3. This happens even with files mpeg 2 ed (in tmpegenc)

meaning pinnacle expression doesn't accept it

as an input file

Any help in understanding this problem, solution or work

around would be appreciated

I like the gamma correction option in tmpegenc
