Sorr...Think we must just have been very lucky Mark. Sorry you weren't too.<br /><br />Thanks Trevor. I took the footage on my little digital camera - a Canon Power Shot A3100 IS. We're not around for a few days now, but I'll be in touch when we return. Please don't go to a lot of trouble, but the idea of breaking the video down into smaller segments is a good one, especially as the second half is very poor quality - I tried to zoom in too far!sue shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364002276249892762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-801100165210197950.post-60826767854683413252013-03-01T20:13:04.681+00:002013-03-01T20:13:04.681+00:00Sue Hi

If you took the video on a ipad or iphone or similar, then there are editing apps galore at either very low price or indeed free. If you can pass me the detail of equipment used I would be more than happy to research the net to try and solve the problem, I am lucky to have time on my hands these days - lol.
