PC techy type help

troppo · 14-07-2006, 09:04 AM

I recently purchased a new DVD camcorder. Did some recording (v8 supercars mostly), finalised the DVD and popped it in the pc's DVD drive. This was where I found the first problem. The drive wouldn't read it. Worked fine in the home DVD player but not the pc one. (odd thing is pc drive and camcorder are both sony but the home dvd is jvc). Ended up buying a new DVD drive for the pc as the one in it was getting pretty long in the tooth anyway, which fixed the problem.
So, now I can get the clips onto my hard drive no probs but cant seem to do anything with them from there. I've bungled my way through to creating a short clip of my exhaust as an avi file but I keep getting an error message if I try to upload it to photobucket. It's less than 3 minutes, less than 100MB and an acvceptable file type so I don't know what the problem is. I also can't attach it to an email. PC just seems to freeze up when I hit send on a mail with a clip attached.
Any ideas?
