Maybe you can cut out the 7 seconds (+ some overlap maybe) with virtualdub. Maybe you can sent it to my ftp? Do you have windows commander or total commander (normally my ftp is not reachable with IE)? I would really appreciate it if you could sent me the footage. I hope it's not too much trouble. I'll PM you my ftp information if your willing and able to sent the footage to me. By the way, how's your ld to dvd transfer going?
