Wow, thank you Esther, I will definitely check this out and load it on my Nano. Come to think of it, I believe the Nano gets much less time when playing videos, maybe it's only a couple of hours, but it'll be worth it. :) Well ok, could just play it on the machine of course. I am curious and will have to ask my wife how the video looks on the little screen.
