>>Was that a stone that bunged your prop?
Crusty, pretty sure it wasn't a stone, just by the way it powdered, usually they may split and deflect. Watching the footage more carefully frame by frame it most likely appears to have fallen from the gas tank as there are many little nooks and crannies something can hide in there. I'll be more careful in future. But on the plus side, I've had more questions about this part of the video, so without it, it would be just another flying video of majical terrain!!!
Marc, my speciality sure itsn't compression as you can tell. I'll try and remember it for next time, but in the end, I don't want to sacrifice a lot of quality to save a few bytes. In this day and age, and at how cheap space becomes, 50 meg should be negligable, and if your on a phone line, then even compression won't help! I also want to stay away from those fancy codecs that the everyday users knows nothing about. I hate having to install something to watch someones video. Sorry!
I've seem some quality compression done using Quicktime before in mp4 format.
Paragliding -> Thanks. You did make one excellent point - to be aware of the tense's of my narration. Listening to it more carefully, it does sound a little off when I say "tomorrow we shall fly".... I was a math/science kid as you can tell

The more tips the better, to make the next one better!
If you didn't make a mistake, you didn't learn anything. Thats how I justify my mistakes in life!!!
Cheers,
