Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
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.

omnis, the weird this is that the video I'm editing actually *is* PAL, that's why I changed the iMovie options. But iMovie only appears to work properly for me in NTSC, so I've had to leave it like that.
Wolfram, do you have a link to the file you're trying to download?

that is curious Kevin. I think iMovie imports rather then just edits. I'm guessing it converted it to NTSC when you first imported the video. When did you initially change the preference? Before importing? Before editing? Just curious. The one thing I'm not a fan of with iMovie is, it keeps all your 'clips' there, like iPhoto. I'd rather each project it's own, and not have the GUI confused with past imports from the camera.

I'm really just trying to get the stream from 03:05:50 to 03:10:10. (It's a friend of mine playing on the chabad telethon.)
