how big is the file??? i think it might be a problem with your coputer then or the files that you are tryin to convert.. when i convert movies it will get to 100% after 15 minutes or so.. but then it runs for anoth 1 or so... the meter measure thing doesnt work the best sometimes.. but as long as you see that the file is getting bigger... it works... if you go into setup and the third tab you can enter the time of the movie you are converting and it will give you a size estimate so then you can use that to estimate how much longer you have becuase it tells you the current size of thef ile as it converts... if that isnt the case dont kno what to do.. sorry
