Thanks a lot Sir. I downloaded Handbrake Software. It is very good for converting video format. Plus the file size also reduced. Thanks for the help.

The link to the newspaper exercise file is broken.  For it to work the address must be lowercase, eg. http://www.educator.com/media/files/adobe-premiere-pro-cs6-snape/newspaper.jpg
