Barry,
Have you tried PFCPro?
www.playsforcertain.com
It comes as a two week fully functioning trial so it won't cost a thing to
get this sorted out. Beyond just correcting problem videos it allows you to
edit existing video, use DVDs in the presentation, use streaming media from
the internet and a bunch of other multimedia related features.
