Yeah, that's true, but I designed the music to loop perfectly, so I was kind
of annoyed that it didn't. I even programmed the orchestral stabs to occur
at the same places that the anim changed direction (0.4 and 0.7 pov clock),
which was cool.

You're welcome...wish I'd thought to do it in the first place

Well, it literally took me 10 mins to make the music, with little or no
thought to it's artistic merit... just chose a few samples and sequenced
them. It's certainly 'up-beat'.

Well, it's strange. I ended up making the avi in exactly the same way as the
mpeg's with sound, but they just wouldn't play in Media Player. Got an 'out
of synch' error, or such like. Tried to follow the (bad ) link on the error
message to Microsofts site, but the page was nowhere to be found. Typical.
Well, I haven't yet read the docs to Video Mach, so it may explain things in
there, and also I notice that a new version was released a couple of days
ago, so it may be a bug which has now been fixed.

All the best,
