presenting a movie

Mon Oct 17 20:40:14 UTC 2011

Meltem,

Thanks for reporting back on your success, and indicating which 
product worked for you.  I suppose you used the "Total Video 
Converter" product from ojosoft (www.ojosoft.com, US$27).  I will add 
that to my growing E-Prime FAQ.  I wonder how the ojosoft products 
compare to the AoA products (www.aoamedia.com )?
