I am not good with some of these modern conveniences. Instead of getting stressed-out I prefer to let someone else do this for me and save a lot of hair-pulling. I have always always called upon B10Mediaworx to help me (listed above) with conversions. She does an excellent job with no matter what kind of goofed-up file you give her!
Thanks, EB!
