Youtube quality is pretty poor no matter what you do. I use Windows Media
(.wmv) at 640x480, 30fps, and 2000Mbps. When viewing it or sharing the
address, click on "watch in high quality" if it's available, or add
"&fmt=18" (without the quotes) to the end of the address which forces it to
high quality if possible, i.e.:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QFuEA_NpJs&feature=channel&fmt=18
I've never used Pinnacle but by all accounts it's better than what I use
(Showbiz, which was bundled with my computer).

Larry,
It is easy to add music to the video. I use DIVX medium for my video format and
it looks pretty good in HQ on Utube
In the video spin program when you are editing the time line for the video look
at the left menu and you will see a music note at the bottom and another in
the time line at the bottom.
You click the top music note and find the music file from your computer that you
want. Once you have the file, Click and drag it to the music note line in the
time line.
You do it the same way as the videos

I have a Kolb Firestar II that experienced an off airport landing a couple
of years ago. The cage and landing gear were damaged. I have a new powder
coated cage. Also new gear legs and tail boom. The wings need to be
recovered. They were not damaged in the landing but the fabric was torn
when hauling the plane out. A 503 engine is included with approximately 40
hours on it. The parts are in Buckeye Arizona, West of Phoenix. I have to
give up flying so have lost interest in rebuilding. Make an offer.

(dr lic)
FWIW, and IMHO - Boyd, and others, are right on about FAA medicals.
You must make SURE the Dr understands that nothing gets put on an
FAA form until after he's given you an exam,
and you've passed it. I've had to be very firm about this in the
past. Many Drs really don't understand what a mess you'd be in if you
failed a physical. You must beat it into their heads that you MUST
NOT fail a physical at least ion the FAA forms.
Also a good idea if your regular Dr and the FAA Examiner aren't good
buddies, or even know each other. I also think an older FAA Dr is
better than a younger one; more understanding.
With a new Dr I say "Give me a physical as plain old Joe-the-plumber,
NO FAA forms involved. Then when I pass it, give me the FAA physical,
and charge me whatever you have to" So far no 'extra' charges ever.
Maybe I've been lucky, but the Dr's I've used have been reasonable
chaps.
Sounds like John H has found a good one. Class II and III run $100 &
up around here. Can't fly to their offices either.

Er, that's specifically the purpose of the screening process - an exam for a medical
cert. is a regulatory function and as such is _supposed_ to seek out and
find disqualifying conditions.
If the AME in an FnAA medical exam finds something disqualifying in the exam you've
_already failed_ at that point. (s)he has to report it and off you go to
the special issuance process or to flying UL's.......
At least that's my understanding of it.
Indeed, another one of those things that really puts the Fn in FnAA......
