I still don't feel 100% confident taking the lane at pinch points and other such hazards,am getting better but don't always do it.
Had one yesterday when car behind on a narrow road overtook me very close despite there only being 1 car to wait for and she would have had a clear road.obviously the 3 seconds she would have had to wait was too long.

Yes, I subsequently worked it out. You have to set the project to widescreen, not 4:3, otherwise when you save the movie (as widescreen) it puts the widescreen picture inside a 4:3 black box and you get the problem as above.
I quite like Win Movie Maker, but that was frustrating to track down.
Haha, thanks.

We had quite a funny one with WVM on Milton Road East on Tuesday Evening (the inside lane is full off parking then). He either didn't realise there was a dozen cyclists on the road and/or cyclists could go more than 5mph downhill and went for the overtake. Fortunately he realised his stupidity at the moment and went straight into the island 
Talking of close calls, had a taxi's wing-mirror go past within an inch or two of my bars yesterday before pulling right into the kerb and speeding off. I had it on helmet cam so thought it'll just the thing for London Roadsafe but on watching it, it doesn't look anywhere as near - which I put down to the camera's position and not me being a big girl about it yesterday...
