Video Converter Adds Freeze Frame Half Second

[HaroldB]

I am brand-new to video with PTE, and I have a number of questions, which I intend to post separately. I've tried to read the forum, and apologies in advance if I am asking things that have already been covered but I could not find.

My "video camera" is a Canon Powershot SX210 IS, which produces .MOV files.

So my first question: when I include the video clip directly into PTE, it starts at exactly the right time. However, when I use the video converter and include its .AVI file, there seems to be about .6 of a second of the first frame frozen at the beginning of the clip. If I use the O&A screen to bypass this, it works fine.
