Thanks so much, Deena and jimi (or should I call you evil?). I'll pass on the info, and I really appreciate the recommendation.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Oh god. A shop down the road from me has Apple Air laptops with £300 off Apple's price as they're having trouble selling them.

Must. Not. Buy.

Why did I use iMovie for something? Why? WHY! I just closed it and opened it again, and the project is still there, but the clips are completely messed up. Everything I've cut together is misplaced with random bits, so it's totally screwed.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I've never had that issue with iMovie.

Weird.

What happens if you open and actually export it out of iMovie?

I got it back, woo! It was because I changed from NTSC to PAL in the iMovie options, then closed and reopened it - it completely messed up the clips, for some reason. I changed it back, and tada - all is right again.

I give up.

I have a website link that ends in .asx that plays a streaming video that's about 3.5 hours long. I am trying to download and save as a video file a 5 minute piece of that stream. Can anyone recommend the best/easiest/dummyproofiest/free way to do this? I will download/install any free software necessary. I am running Windows XP. Thanks.

there is a frame rate difference between NTSC and PAL. So changing that pref would effect where the edits were. So if the software says "this clips starts at 12 min 3 sec 10 frames", that could be at two completely different locations, hence "completely messed up the clips".

Kudos to you for finding that! I wouldn't have thought of it off the top of my head, as I never really change that pref.
