Hello,

The very useful free video tool "VirtualDub" can do this as well and is nice to have for many tasks that arise when working with digital video.

I can give step-by-step instructions once I am done with work.

Thank you for the prompt reply.
Much appreciated.

One more question...How can you rotate .mov files. I don't have the full version of Quick Time.

Hello,

The way I do is to convert them to avi then use either WMM or Virtuldub to rotate them. There is a great free program for converting quicktime to avi called "Rad Video Tools" and you can check out it's page at videohelp.com with the link below:
