I was able to locate a good free online Video Converter http://www.online-convert.com/ it allows you to enter the pixel height and width and I was able to get past the 320 X 320 error, but now I'm encountering a new error "Make sure you have the VFW codec installed for this video file!" Is there a specific codec and if so where can I find it, I tried installing a K-Lite Codec Pack that I thought had the VFW codec but that didn't work.
Is there any way to have transparency in the trons or does the program get rid of it?
A simple Google search will show people that a VFW Codec, is a Video For Windows codec. Just simply having a Direct Show codec, which is what players like Windows Media Player use, is not sufficient. You can find so much information by using Google, it's really amazing.
Here is an example of someone calling VirtualDub stupid (pretty amazing considering it's one of the best video tools made), just because they can't figure out how to configure their codecs correctly or get the right kinds of codecs -

The class I use for dealing with AVI files, uses VFW, and not Direct Show. VirtualDub is similar to my program in that regard, so this is why I recommend using VirtualDub to make the video. If a video won't open in VirtualDub, it won't open in my program. Simple as that. You could probably send a video file to the program using AVISynth as well, which would make it so you didn't even have to find the correct codecs. Basically, people need to make their AVI files with VirtualDub for guaranteed results, and quit relying on programs that only worry about making the AVI files Direct Show compliant.
Also, if you have Vista, I recommend getting rid of it and getting Windows 7 (you should have by now anyway) -

That is a WINDOWS VISTA bug, and not my fault either.
This is what my program uses to handle AVI files -

Since it is natively supported and included in Windows, I don't have to worry about people not having it installed on their system, even using Direct Show forces you to make sure someone has DirectX installed on their system. The only problem, is people not installing all the correct codecs for the AVI files they have, and then expect my program to be able to handle reading the file, when the codec isn't even installed.
I use Camtasia Studio 7 and have no trouble, The new upgraded Tron maker is so much faster even on my P.O.S. Laptop.
Camtasia is good because once you have a tron set up to make - you can save your parametres as a preset to select every time you're making a Titantron in the future.
Oh, it's noob friendly and free :D
