Hi Norv. Someone said they got the video, but no sound so I thought I'd go for 
it. Got a hardware problem on the machine with FC1 that's got Mplayer with 
the .avi codecs, so I put Mplayer on a Gentoo install on the other machine. 
Great. I've got sound but no video, except a "Matrix" type thing on the 
screen. No .avi codecs came with Mplayer, and I'm not sure how to find em on 
Gentoo, so back to fixing the other machine. Real "Big problems in Little 
China" here. The third harddrive had been renamed from hde to hdc (it runs 
off an ide pci adaptor card booting from floppy). Then when I booted up FC2 
on the same machine, all the cdrom/dvdrom drives had disappeared. Took a 
while, like most of the day, doh, but eventually tracked it down to the cd 
writer being hosed. Now to play your movie. Great. No problems. I think the 
movies really good. It's got that sort of surreal look to it, and the sounds, 
even though you said you'd thrown them together, go very well with it. 
Perhaps I'm biased cause I'm really into dance music, but I do think it comes 
over very well. Breakaways into the trees here and there creates a real 
atmosphere along with the breaks soundtrack. I'm getting a bit old at 57, and 
the furthest my mountain bike goes is down to the local town for a couple of 
baguettes. As for the stunts. I'm trying to stay in one piece. Keep at it 
man. I like it. Nigel.
