Well, Greg couldn't see it... But regarding your question about the mpg
format, it's easy (assuming people deliberately didn't put a wrong file
extension on their file; Windows Media Player will recognise the correct
format anyway.)

A file extension of MPG means mpeg1, always.. MP2 is the DVD format.. Mpeg4
is always seen as AVI, QT or in recent cases, it even has the DivX file
extension.. Usually it's AVI though.. AVI is a common file wrapper, but
never used in mpeg1.

Cmpeg is getting old.. Use Tmpgenc instead.. It's considered the best
encoder for Mpeg1 and is free as well.

Very nice anim. I didn't notice the change. But a real meteor would hit more
directly, down straight.. And not fly like it had wings.. I think?  :o)
