Second, can we agree on a naming format for video clips. For example: vf2_Andy_Wardley.avi


i just created a new folder for each round, and saved each under the fliers name, regardless of what THEY saved it as...

Funnily enough, that's exactly what I did too. ;-)

...but it would be still easier if they were named that way in the first place. Then you can just "right-click-k-enter" (or whatever the magic incantation is on your browser) to save the linked file straight to disk. Fix the problem at source and we're all saved the effort of having to type new file names.

I also wonder if it would be worth creating a combined movie with all the competitors' entries in. It wouldn't be any smaller, but it would be one easy download rather than several.

Combining existing movies together would mean compression on top of compression - a real hit on what's already low quality video. It's hard enough to see what some of the kites are doing as it is.

Exactly, and this is also why I'm definitely not in favour of compiling big clips out of the videos.
