Stream,
Well this was something to do, just to see how well my pos program that came with my vaio would work. I used the film viewer for HOURS and did my editing on a simple program called Movie Shaker.... You should check out windows media 9... With that you can encode for web and SHRINK file size without giving up quality. One of my squad mates converted both of these files recently, both files together are no bigger than 5 MB. Something to check out anyway.

BTW what kind of video card do you use? The quality is tops!
