The joys of computer conversion

This is not about spiritual conversion.  That seems like a simple matter. 

When it comes to the various formats of computer files, the list seems endless.  I have just downloaded an mp4 movie – high resolution and ready for use in church to promote a prayer day.

My usual DVD authoring software can’t seem to digest the format.  So off to the ubiquitous GOOGLE.  There I’ve found a few freeware programs.  I expect in the next few hours to have figured out a way to place this on DVD.

In a perfect world we would just turn on the TV, click a button and out would project the video of the day.  In an imperfect world, we just keep searching for that one product and end up with a smattering of programs stretched across our desktop.

I guess it could be worse.  I remember programming in FORTRAN IV with punch cards!!
