Hi Ric

 

Welcome to FPCH

 

Are these .avi's from places like Pirate Bay for example?

No advice or help will be offered with regard to P2P (Peer to Peer, torrents etc) programs or software obtained via that medium unless a member specifically states that they require help on removing such software.

There are number of reasons for that rule. We are not the PC Police but we do not get involved in helping with copyright infringement. We do not have the resources or desire to get involved in that type of problem. In addition these downloads are often the source the very problem that is posted.

 

Accordingly, if your reply was one of principle you have the answer.

 

Your reply contains an inference that these are torrent downloads but I am not closing this thread at this time so as to allow you to reply and perhaps clear the air.

I came to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help thinking the same thing. It isn't the final scanned clean avi file that is the problem but what nasties came along with it.

 

Posed as it is now, however, your question is understandable and should be replied to by someone more familiar with conversion software (the first place to start) than I.

I doubt any answer will be forthcoming goonsnoopy, this thread is well over three years old and the original poster has obviously long since gone.

Please check date before posting on old threads in future.
