I agree with Chap.  the written docs are very clear, but I think that 
most users are too lazy to read the whole thing, especially if it seems 
a bit overwhelming.  a video can show that it really isn't as 
complicated as it might first look.

my concern with showing pitfalls and troubleshooting as per the other 
email in this thread is that it will still show the process to be 
overwhelming.

unfortunately, I do not.  I am using Windows Movie Maker, which is the 
default program that comes with Windows.  I tried a couple of the 
commercial products for Windows but they have been even worse, with many 
crashes, etc.

still, I can re-do the video given the right information.
