Dave you seem to have a lot of respect in this group so i'll refrain from ripping you a new one and just say this. If you bothered to read my original post before getting your pompous high and might knickers in a twist you'd have noticed that I too share this marvelous thing you call CHOICE.

Call me old school, but I still publish my vlog in 320x240. For a couple of reasons. My old Flip shoots at 640x480 and at the native size its pretty crummy. Scaled to quarter screen it tightens up and cleans up the noise considerably. Also theres nothing in my vlog that needs to be seen at HD
