    Hi Jaime, I will delete 'fire' now... Your videos are excellent now, the compression you are using is way better, thanks for that! Calphool, that's a good idea to keep copies of your signs. Not so much if I loose funding, there will be warning of that, but if there is a technical error...

    Hi Calphool, Thanks a lot for uploading those clips! - good work. The point you made about the codecs is a good one... I have looked into a conversion utility to flash but there is nothing I can find that is web based which can do that at the moment, but it's something I'm going to keep...
