I did initially play with the higher resolution but found the same as you. I takes a hell of a lot longer to render the movie though. It would be great if some cleaver sod could hack the firmware / software to give a better than 5 second minimum. Anyone up for it that you know of? I did ask Ricoh but they said no they wouldn't do it. Shame as the camera could process it OK at that file size. Kevin Hi Nic
