Hi :) Errr, a bit embarrassing to admit but the file is an mp3 and therefore doesn't have a visual element. When i played the file again on a Gnu&Linux box i got a very different visualisation. So, clearly the visuals were being generated by my movie-player rather tahn being part of the file! Lol [blushes]
