Driver door has appeared to have dropped, the top of the door gap between the rear quarter panel is wider than the bottom, and also the door is catching on the front wing. The door also makes a clunk when closing.

We have a Flip Ultra HD thing, and it records in 720 or 1080 MP4.
We need to reduce this to AVI to send via emails as its about 1/5 of the original sizes.
Anyone know where i can get such a program.
Earlier today, bashed the clio into the kerb and damaged the rim, infact the rim was bent a little downwards pushing the tyre lip inwards a little. The tyre still held pressure and was good to drive home on.
