I tried to get better quality. The normal setting I used would have put
it at 75 MB, but it was fuzzy.

Thanks Pete, I appreciate the help. I always wondered how you get rid
of the extra artifacts. I was playing with every setting to no avail.
So I export the avi and then use the Adobe Media Encoder to put out the
WMV or a different encoder?

I know, I know but I'm addicted. I just can't break the stupid habit.
Every time I tell myself "just the dissolve" I see those animated

I'm still building the neck muscles. There's a three pound difference
between the new setup and the bullet camera. I have a permanent
indention on my forehead from the helmet pressing against it.
