Using free software is a no brainer since most of the best ones are free in my opinion.
Also i think there is a problem with these mpeg2 files, i have managed to convert a few but they seem to be missing the index when loading them in vdub.
Another thing is that one of the MPEG2 files cannot be copied or opened anywhere...always getting a cyclical redundancy error.
anyway thanks for all the help so far guys
