Hi Lee, Was the Steve you mentioned in this email, myself? If so, I'd be interested in knowing what problems you had viewing the video. Was it just a bandwidth issue or are you having problems downloading the file to watch locally or is the problem with actually playing the files locally?
I can certainly produce a wide variety of video formats, if that's the problem, with either the tools I have here or with ones I can download off the net. Just let me know which formats people want to see. As far as VHS is concerned, I have the tools to write the digital video to a VCR and could produce VHS tapes for those interested. I can also write CD-R and VCD for those of you interested in those media. Sure wish I had a DVD burner, though... Maybe soon...
