I used something called direct show dump utility to convert the files. I cleaned up the errors, downloaded ffdshow, and things seem to be working better. I have noticed from the start that I have to play the video from start to finnish, I cant move the play bar say from 1 minute 25 seconds to 7 minutes and 04 seconds or it will just black out. I am not sure why that is but I just noticed that the original video is the same way although not as bad. I want to thank you again for helping me with this.

later, Chad
