All is well that ends in pizza.
Silly responses aside, I have a question of my own.
If one had an AVI and wanted to edit it on a Windows XP machine, what software would be able to make easy edits? Remove a segment from a film or TV show, and make it a seperate avi file, for example.

but they are the wrong color
Beej, can't you just change the color? I'd do it for you, if you don't have the software.

Daniel, I think you're supposed to be able to do that with Windows Movie Maker.

The problem with WMM is that it imports the original video with arbitrary scene slices, and not a clean single file.
I wish I had a newer Mac to do this in. It's frustrating.
I'll try it again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Eddie, I don't have an xstartup in ~/.vnc -- just .log, .pid and passwd. I did a find / -name xstartup and came up blank, in fact.
Do I need to create one, and if so, whereinhell do I start?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The problem with WMM is that it imports the original video with arbitrary scene slices, and not a clean single file.
You can avoid this by unchecking the "create clips for video files" check box in the file import menu.
I like WMM quite a bit. It's easy to use. The biggest problem with it is that it can only save files as wmv or full size avi. Very all or nothing. To create an mpg, you need another converter program. Nero does a decent job, or you can check out videohelp.com, where they have oodles of recommendations (mostly freeware) and tutorials. [link]

Deena! You are a goddess among women. I'll go find the urls and send them to you. (profile addy?) I'll even pay in cookies! (for which I'll need your other address)
And, sigh. No, I don't have the software on my upgrade needing, software deprived Mac. Clearly, I need the love of a good techie.

There it is. Thanks. Is it too much to ask MS to put in a centralized settings file for this?
Now, is there any way to stop trying to automatically update the clips as I'm trying to pinpoint my edits? It wastes so much time, even at 2.4 ghz, I get frustrated as it decides I need to update and I'm not finishing pinpointing the edit.

Daniel, if your computer can handle it, I highly recommend Avid Free DV. Avid isn't the prettiest interface in the world, but they're the industry standard for a reason.
