Re: [PLUG] Revolution OS


OK, it took some time and a complete reload of my "Windoze 98" system but I
am currently creating the MPEG/VCD format files.  I will bring a couple of
copies to the meeting tomorrow.  It will be in the file format.  If you want
to make a VCD just use burning software that will create the format.  The
MPEG file will already be ready for the VCD creation.  See everyone
tomorrow.
