Aha! So this is what I was after. Your MOV or MP4 files are actually compressed using the DivX codec? So all the mov or wmv files I watch could be DivX without me knowing, and that's why I never see mention of DivX? (I love risking looking stupid in public.) So I could create a DivX file that's playable in Quicktime, and another DivX file that's playable in Windows Media Player? Is that right, Paul? Could I make an iPod or PSP compatible DivX file? I love the use of the word 'Jacket' I've just got back from holiday - hence the flurry of posts - and I just caught up with your Comic Relief vlog, Paul. Nice one. Today's the best yet. I particularly like the big eared red nosed quickie at the end. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x18zwg_comic-relief-2322007 R

I use a quicktime jacket when uploading to blip.tv and I have had no complaints so far. Try it, why not. There is also a great community over at stage6.com and you'll find a great deal of vlogging members there already. It works for me in so many ways, probably the best online thing I bought since quicktime. Paul On 23 Feb 2007, at 10:20, Rupert wrote: > I feel a bit of a fool.
