Thanks OPTOData, I failed to notice that it was downloading as soon as I selected the patch.

The patch is now available.
I have been attempting to download patch 3929.0 for PD 15 from CL download page. They list this patch but when you try to download it you get only a page for buying 365. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

In re-reading the posts, I noticed I had not responded to a couple of questions from Janes. Apologies. Regarding the audio associated with the video at www.stonebrook-golf.com/instruction I had a lot of trouble with wind noise--even a little breeze sounded bad at edit. I bought an inexpensive directional mike for the Sony Camcorder and it helped but not a lot. I was advised later to use a wireless or collar mike when the person talking is more than a few feet away. That's the best solution I believe.

Thanks for the info, Xerox--I'll give that a try. Frank

Those are some great ideas, Tony; I read the articles on aspect ratio (my head still hurts) but there is some hope of getting what I'm after. Jamie's suggestion to make a custom profile was great--it will take some time to test. I did make a test file at 320x240 but the output file was a .M2TS file that me FLV codec wouldn't process. I have a bit more research to do, but as you mentioned Tony, a better understanding of what I'm trying to do might make it easier to suggest a solution:
My AVCHD Sony Cam uses 720x480 format. I have used that format by first making an .AVI file then make a streaming video with my FLV converter. I set the player size to 720x480 and all is well.....except it's BIG and meant more for broadband use than DSL (my target).
(Take a look at:http://www.stonebrook-golf.com/chippingvideo.htm
I'm working on a website and I don't have the room on the page for a player that large--o I want to drop to something like 320x240 (smaller player on the page and more accessible to users. At the same time, I'd like to keep the highest resolution possible so it's not too grainy. Tall order, Huh? But that's the nutshell of what I'm trying to accomplish.
I might experiment with leaving the format alone (720x480) and just set the player code on the page to 320x240 and see what happens.
Many thanks for the suggestions to date.

Thanks Tony&Jamie--
I would have thought 720x480 was 4:3 but when I right-click the timeline and ask PD to detect the aspect ratio, the response throughout the movie is "the aspect ratio of this video is 4:3."
Also, it seems that with PD8, there is no provision for an output (either AVI or AVCHD) in anything other than 720X480. I can't seem to get to a .flv file with a smaller player size with my AVCHD. Only way so far I've been able to control the view size is to go with AVI then encode to .WMV where there are many formal choices. I'm apparently still missing something.

My input file is .MP4. I wish to stream the output file at 320X240 but there seem to be no options to do so. (I understand that 320X240 is a recommend DSL format in 4:3.)
I made a Type I .AVI in PD8 then used SWF Converter to obtain a .FLV file to put on a web site. Problem is, SWF reverts to my input file's native resolution (720X480) which is too large a player and probably too slow. Seems there are many output options with .WMV but few with the other formats. I'm stumped. Any ideas appreciated :
