Oh my...




...what a day it's been! I was (literally) in the middle of a clash today between hundreds and hundreds of Chinese people and a small group of anti-China protestors as the Olympic Torch made its way through Seoul. I have amazing video to show you! However, I need to edit it, since I left it on for 10 minutes. Problem...it's an AVI file and iMovie doesn't read AVI files. Help, anyone??

From CNN:

A man doused himself with gasoline and tried to set himself on fire -- but was stopped by police.

Scuffles broke out several times along the route between demonstrators and Chinese students waving their country's red flag.

At least 8,000 riot police were deployed to guard the 15-mile (24 km) route, which started at Olympic Park, built when Seoul hosted the Summer Games in 1988, and winds down at City Hall in central Seoul.

As the runners carried the torch through the streets of Seoul, three rows of guards flanked them on each side.

Hi Beth, to edit the AVI file the easiest option is probably to load the AVI file onto a Windows XP machine and edit it with "Windows Movie Maker." Windows Movie Maker is standard with all XP systems I think. And it's extremely easy to use.

I linked to your post. Nice photos! Hope to read more about what you saw today.

Software to convert video file formats between one another.

Prism available at nch.com.au

It works effectively, and is worth a 30-day trial period at least.
