If I'm reading your post right, bailey, here's what you need to do (it's kinda convoluted):

First, you need to open up ATI's "Media Library." If you've never run it before, be carefull as it tries to log ALL your mulitmedia files. If you have hundreds or thousands, it is pretty messy. I aborted that operation.

Then, just have ML find the vid files you want by pointing it to only that directory the files are in. Then, when you found the file(s) you want, you have to covert ATI's proprietary VCR format to MPG.

The new MPG file is *not* DVD compliant. Some programs, like Nero 6, will take it without any messages; I assume it does the conversion transparent to the user. Other programs, like the authoring program DVDlabs, gives you a warning that the file is not compliant. You'll need to pick a less compliant option or render the file with something like TMPGEnc.

HTH
