Thanks Jim, I've converted it to MPEG, it's still fairly good quality, even
in full screen.  I've been using Windows Media Video 9 for my tests, indeed
a very platform speficic format despite it's benefits for me.

BTW, it's in slow motion so you can see the marbles' surfaces.

Very nice! Although, I think the gravity is too weak...

Thanks.  At first I though you may get the feeling that the gravity is too 
weak due to the fact that the animation is in slow motion.  The simulation 
time was 4 seconds but the animation plays for almost 9 seconds.  In the 
simulation the  gravitational acceleration is set to: -9.81 units per 
second squared in the Y coordinate.

Thinking about it some more, I realized you're in fact right.  The marbles 
and bowl are huge relative to the gravitational acceleration used.  The 
marbles have a radius of between 0.1 to 0.3 units (random).  Which, 
relative to g would make them 20 to 60 cm in diameter.  I need to either 
10x g or reduce the size of my objects so that they make sense in real 
world sizes.  Thanks for pointing that out!

Absolutely, I just need to finish up some work on the engine (still some 
anomalies under certain conditions), clean it up then I'll post.  I just 
keep finding bugs or better ways to do things.

Many thanks for the change in format. :-)
