i already tried tmpgenc and it won't work. whenever i drag the file directly into tmpgenc only the audio's file path shows up and the video bar remains blank. when i try to open it with tmpgenc manually by browsing, it says the video is unsupported, i assume it means the file type

bummer i wanna change it so i can save it to imagestation (it's only a small 13MB file) for storage purposes. but imagestation only accepts files in mpeg format. damn.

does anybody want me to send them the file so they can figure out what's wrong?

Why dont you save it as RAR ? , if its for storage purposes then it would be ok
