    Steve:
    Could the videos not be zipped for downloading?

    1)The compresion of wmv is quite good so is too much work to compress and then uncompress to get a 2% compresion ration (I'm lazy SOB)
    2)One needs to wait for the zip to finiish dowloading to see the footage, with wmv I can see the video while downloading (sometimes I stop the downloading if its sucks)
    3)Some firewalls at work restrict the downloading of zips at work (The work dudes like to check videos while lunch :D)
