Thanks. That's exactly the idea I had too...separate file to keep track of things. The only difference is that instead of something firing off every 100ms or so, I'd just take a time stamp of when the video recording starts and then another one each time the user presses the "Mark" button. I know there are ways with Java on a PC to combine these (insert a text message into the video stream) so I will probably go that route.
