I’m one of the 50 million people without health insurance in America that this film isn’t about.. SiCKO is the latest docutainment film by the Academy Award-winning film maker Michael Moore, and its focus isn’t so much on the plight of those without health care as it is on the experiences of those with health care who find their insurance companies are more concerned with cutting cost than with saving people’s lives.
In the films Roger & Me, Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11, and in the television shows like The Awful Truth and TV Nation Michael Moore perfected a kind of ambush journalism that, while entertaining, provided his opponents with ample fodder for calling his conclusions into question. His use of montage to illustrate the conversations in which he engages are still as punchy and entertaining as in his previous works, but the ambushing of public figures is missing from SiCKO.

How do I burn this file to a DVD?
Seems like Nero Vision isn’t very fond of this FFMPEG codec or whatever it is.

I’m trying to convert the video via WinAVIVideo, and that also is not digging the file. Something about a decoder not being there. Any suggestions?
