Thanks Alain, I knew I would get it in the neck for posting that code. :)
Except for the intervals/samples thing. The other things you mention are 
Bishop3D defaults and there is not a lot that I can do about what is 
exported except go through the code afterwards. But I have a relatively 
fast machine, so I don't.
I seem to have a blind spot for samples vs intervals. Thomas, amongst 
others, is forever mentioning it.
I use media so seldom that I have to relearn it whenever I want to use 
it. :(
So it is not ignorance but stupidity on my part. :(
