Thanks a lot Ronni. 

I thought I had to get the .mov file back to MP4 format before uploading to You 
Tube and didn't know how to do that without a converter of some sort. 

Anyway, I followed your instructions and the .mov files uploaded fine to You 
Tube. 

But while I've got you, is there a converter app that you would recommend?

Thanks again.

Cheers, Graham
