This sounds great - I have just uploaded a demo
https://vimeo.com/62188678
When I watched it (on a windows machine) it suffered rather from some
blacking out at the start, but generally I am quite pleased with it.
Any comments would be welcome - if anyone has time/inclination/expertise
to improve it I can send the original (I see that they have compressed
it some more).
Can we host it in good resolution on denemo.org? It is 18 Mb as I
uploaded it - now sure what they have compressed it to.
