I did give ken a direct link to the codec I'm using.

I would be going easier on him if he didn't suggest

1) I owned less books than him. Thats very hurtful :(

2) He said I owned Sky Digital. Thats hurtful too :(

3) He suggested I go and read up about this after I gave him a direct link

Oh well. Still waiting for an apology.
