I'll address this in the order I saw the comments........

(1) Due to issues at home here, I had to take my site down and transfer the
data to my page below to save money on a monthly basis......

(2) I e-mailed gary on my reasons and explained in detail why and asked for
a Bill or invoice for what he had done so I could pay him for services
rendered.........his response was that i owed him nothing
and he got pissed at me. (I haven't heard from him sense)

(3) That clip was shot using my HP 735 Digital camera and I held the thing
with my hands, my apologies if the quality isn't that great......The
original video was really good, but after re-formatting
it lost a lot of the sound and crispness.

I had the original clip, but it was lost when the SP-2 UPDATE FIASCO in Oct
killed my files...

I've never welched on paying a bill in my life and that Cheap shot was
uncalled for and unfair...

Looks like Gary beat me to it - but don't let him drop the sound quality
that much! Coulda saved just as much by keeping the sample rate up at 44
and going to monaural sound...

So I guess I'll continue nitpicking here....
I'd assume the original came from a DV camera - you should always keep the
framerate a nice multiple of the original framerate, and 12 doesn't work
nicely with 30. This keeps the result from being jumpy - though in this
video you probably wouldn't notice if it was downsampled to 5 fps since
there is no action, and then you could have turned down the compression
significantly and had a much cleaner product. Titling size is a wee bit
small for shrinking the vid to web size too....

but whatever - video is better than no video, and we all know how on top of
the BBQ '03 highlights I've been =D
