Tech Question

[minerva-fan.livejournal.com]

Is any body out there familiar with Pinnacle? A friend of mine made me a couple of CDs using Pinnacle, which is fed directly into the computer from the VCR/DVD player. Unfortunately the disk, which is like a four-hour edit tape of some 58 smaller scenes, has the entire thing compressed into one file which my computer hates. I tried using Nero Recode, which got about 10% through the file and gave up. I can play the file in WMM, Nero, and PowerDVD, but it will not let me fastforward through the titles (even though it will acknowlege they're there.)

If anyone can help me figure this out, I'd be grateful. What I'd like to do is parce the thing out into individual titles, so that I can use them for vidding. I'm really frustrated with the whole escapade at this point, but I really want those clips....

Thanks in advance.
