AVI will do the job just fine. Get rid of the other one.
As for Drudge, it is my home page and I never have any problems. I believe your problem is your browser .. it is allowing popups and java script.
My advice is that you should use Firefox. It is free and you get it here: http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/pgdlong/index.html
Also, make sure you also get these free addons for Firefox: 1) NoScript 2) AdBlock Plus and 3) Adblock Plus Filter Uploader
With Firefox and these add ons you will have no more problems with popups or java scripts on Drudge or anywhere else.
Firefox is great
