   That's OK because Gustaf will be doing the editing.

   On the page it says for progressive download a flash server is needed. 
Does that mean the flash vids would not play off a CD?

   My old biz partner had a lot of security so that students could not 
download the realplayer files, only view them streaming. Protecting his 
investment. I don't mind if people download a copy to watch it, so long as 
the filesize is reasonable.

    I guess with flash we could add special effects too? Like an animation 
overlaid on the "Grounding in one breath" showing the energy flow? That 
would be cool!!
