Lots of action in your AV! Well done.
In addition to engine and tyre sound effects, you have added
background music. What software do you use to edit your videos, and
especially for merging the soundtracks?

Hi Jeff,
The pictures where taken with no style selected, not cropped but
reduced in size to make it email friendly. The video camera can go as
close as 1cm to the subject. That’s what I mean in portability from

Thank you, Herbert.
Very clear and sharp pictures. It is certainly amazing what one can do
with a 'video camera'!
They seem to be re-sized/cropped 1000-750px and saved smaller than
