You may be right, Carlos. I managed to dig out a 'Perl' (Pathetically
Ecclectic Rubbish Language!) script that would do it on any platform. On the
other hand, I think I got me a 'Ulead' DVD with my TV card, and that may
have the function built-in?
I think I may prefer not using scripts for this specific job - on the other
hand, again, I wouldn't mind an excuse for having to install 'ActiveState'
once more.
Well, it's my machine and I can do both as I wish, can't I?
