Default Conversion problems

Here's my problem in a nutshell...I use Limewire to download video files, then convert them,and burn them onto a DVD using Cucusoft. I've had some files downloaded,but when I go to move them to Cucusoft I'm told the file is empty!. I know it's not because the files play for me in my VLC player. Those same files have no time length note in the Limewire library. Help?....Anybody......Thanks

just how are you transferring the files into your coocoosoft?

via the LW interface?

go directly to the folder the files reside in and drag the actual file into the GUI of the software..

Yeah LW does not seem to recognise mp4 & mkv formats as being video formats yet. mkv is simply a containor format similar to avi & mov. 'Any' video & audio format could be inside. Video might be divx, h.264/x.264, etc. Audio might be mp4, mp3, aac, mp4, ac surround, etc. In most cased I'd guess the mkv video format is X.264. You might need to get such a codec. mkv though been around for a few years, is only starting to become popular now with high definition video. Also, mp3 is not always recognised as a video audio format (though DivX have been using it for years.)

Check http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...tml#post320511 & where to get X.264 codec. I suggest X.264 because it has advanced much further in development than some of the other H.264 sources such as QuickTime's H.264. MPeg Streamclip might be a go to help you also. Also, perhaps take a look at MKV & consider MKVToolnix/iMkvExtract, & Handbrake - MKV II (program links under point #1) there should be windows versions also.
