I purchased a video compact disc but the music videos do not play correctly. The video is jittery and so is the audio. Either the cd is damaged or the files. My other VCDs work fine. Where can I download a program to fix the files?

ITS NOT THE DISK NOR THE VCD.........MOST LIKELY THE PERSON WHO YOU PURCHASED THE DISK FROM EITHER DOWNLOADED THE MOVIE TO MEDIA PLAYER OR REALPLAYER. THOSE DOWNLOADS CAME FROM VHS TAPES WHICH AREN'T THE BEST QUALITY IN THE FIRST PLACE. THEN THE QUAILTY GETS WORSE WHEN TRANSFERED TO .ASF/.MPG (MEDIA PLAYER) OR .RM (REAL PLAYER)FORMATS. AND INORDER TO TURN THOSE MEDIA PLAYER FILES AND REALPLAYER FILES INTO VCD FORMAT YOU HAVE TO RUN IT THROUGH ANOTHER ENCODER TO CHANGE THE FORMAT ONCE AGAIN. SO, AS YOU CAN SEE THE FILE HAS BEEN DRAINED OF ITS QUALITY. BUT, WHEN YOUR RE-FORMATTING TO VCD FROM MEDIA PLAYER OR REAL PLAYER YOU CAN PUT THE MOVIE THROUGH A SERIES OF FILTERS TO REMOVE SOME OF THE JUMPING OF THE PICTURE AND THERE ARE PROGRAMS FOR THE AUDIO. BUT, IF YOU WANT THE ALL-DETAILED INFO...GO TO THIS SITE.

IT ROCKS! AND ALL YOUR ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE CLEAR.
