Hi

It's me again :)

Thank you Art and cwdjrxyz.

I've got my video working now in various browsers.

It looks good and the extremely simple web-page verifies very nicely.

The primary problem was the very large size of the video file.

Now it is compressed using H.264 it is a much smaller size 371.3 MB.

I had been very daft and had been compressing it from Final Cut Pro with
Photo-Jpeg which is I guess why the file was so large, 4.3 GB!

The video only lasts 9 mins 31 secs so it shouldn't have needed a file that
big ;)

In fact with H.264 some of the video actually looks better. A few bits
don't look quite as good, but it is 6 of one half a dozen of the other and
H.264 gives me something I can use.

I've found that it is best to stick with 48 KHz for the sound. There is a
significant chunk of the video for which sound is very important and so
when I tried lower sampling rates the reduction in quality was noticeable.
