OK, I clicked onto the TMPGEnc program, and came up with a window that asked
me what format I wanted. I clicked on NTSC under Video-CD. I then was
brought to a page that said to select the source file. There was a video
file box and an audio file box. I clicked the browse button next to the
video file box. Another window then opened with an empty file name box. I
guess I was supposed to enter the name of the file I want converted into a
video. That would be clockdemo.pov, however it was not listed, and not
recognized, either. I set the program to retrieve the file out of the
correct directory, too. Still, nothing worked. What's wrong?
