Car will start up but stalls out when put in drive or reverse. What can be the problem?

Hello,
It sounds like you have a transmission torque converter that is out. Does the car stall abruptly when put in gear? Can you make a quick video and upload it here so we can see?
Please let us know.
Cheers, Ken
