Thanks again Bill, This won't show the quality (reduced jpegs) or the fps - but here are two captures of my screen with a video still from a vblog in the 640x480 'shape' I've also just done a quick test with the camera set on 720x480 - hence why I'm scruffy on this still (is not a video going out - just a test clip) But you can why I thought the 720x480 would give a finished 'widescreen' look. But in any case the 30fps is better. Here are the two captures:- 640x480 (reduced) screen capture http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/davecooper2/forumpics/4x3nv3.jpg 720x480 (reduced) screen capture Cheers, daveac http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/davecooper2/forumpics/widenv3.jpg
