Hey Graham, yeap still a Canon fan. When raw M2T clips are exported to HDV via MpegStreamclip they don't display in QT correctly because of the 16:9 flag- so I resized it and probably stretched it a bit- and exported at that size- hence the "stretched" .mov

The crackling was added afterwards as all I heard was "city" noise and didn't want that.

Hey Noel- thanks for the compliment.....I try!

Graham- check out an A1- you'll like it.
