EDITING
Firstly can anyone advise on editing the AVI videos that result? The standard MS Movie does not seem to read them.
Secondly the Pincushion is beautifully balanced as regards light and dark. Mine comes out very dark when used in bright sunlight. Did they shroud the lense or do anything in the electronics to get such a good result?
Hi Henry,
Windows Movie Maker reads the avi files just fine but you must have the DivX codec installed which is available at:

If you are taking video outdoors in the sunlight with the sun behind you and you are getting inferior dark video then something is wrong. OTOH, if you are facing the sun then that sun orientation could cause the darkness. BTW, much of the Pensacola PinCushion video was shot in very poor (cloudy, very little sun) light conditions and I had to contrast enhance many of the video clips that went into the production especially from the second day of flying. However, the entire Lake Wales video was shot in excellent lighting conditions so you should be able to compare the two videos to get a good idea of what you should expect.
FYI,
Gordon
