Hi
I have been given some dvds that contain "mod" files that I need for a project. I used the "Get Media from dvd" option in PE4 to successfully import the files, however, PE4 closes without warning and error messages at different times. I have plenty of free space (nearly 200GB on the video drive and 20GB on C drive) and have defragged.
Would it be better for me to convert the files and then use the converted files? If I should convert them, is avi the way to go?
As a test, I just changed the file extension of one of the mod files to "avi" and I then also used "Free Video Converter" to convert the original file to an avi. I could not see any difference between the three files and they all looked the same on the timeline. The only difference I could see was that the file I converted to avi using "Free Video Converter" was a lot smaller in file size to the original mod file.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
