You can believe me. But you have now put forward an expectation that was not revealed earlier, so I can understand your disbelief. 1:32 length, WMAudio 9.1 (48kbps, 32kHz, stereo), WMV V8, 386Kbps. You did not state specific requirements for the VGA video, you have now applied specific requirements for YOUR defined video needs that were not shared in the earlier statements on the subject. Go to: http://www.pocket-dvd-wizard.com/ for more details... In the end, it is all about what is acceptable for a given set of needs, isn't it?
