Really?

Output from mplayer...

Playing 1. Megan, Lou and Ellie - Lou's 8th birthday before going for 
meal.MOV.

VIDEO:  [avc1]  1920x1080  24bpp  29.970 fps

Yep, that's 1080p Full HD (1920x1080) from my HD video camera, shame I 
haven't got anything to play it at the native resolution.  Not bad for a 
£150 flash based camcorder.  Okay not broadcast quality but for home 
videos it does the job. :-)

Does however mean loads more large files to find homes for, time for a 
new hard drive me thinks.
