| Yes, i know the problem of the headlights, but did not want to wait another
| 2 or 3 hours. And i was realy happy that media has worked. I have rendered
| some images (in lower resolution) that realy diapointed. The picture was
| black, or it was totaly white. Spotlights with a falloff-value look very
| disapointing, has anyone suggestions how to put a falloff-spotlight in media
| without disapointing "pixels" at the border?

A lot of 'samples' perhaps?

| PS : For a person not talking english all the day, the names of the
| media-parameters are hard to understand, and the documentation says not
| enough. I will try to buy a dictionary to fully understand what every
| parameter means ...

I don't think confidence, variance, ratio really ever need to be used anyway
(unless you want messy results on purpose).  The other keywords are
understandable I would think.
