small solution. it is in the downloading that the problem lies. i just copied over a show from disc to my computer and it converted just fine.

it could be that i had azureus, then i switched to utorrent, and like a dumbass i just now switched back to azureus, so it will probably happen with all my downloads?

i'll post more when i figure it totally out, just so there's a record of this for the next kid.
