Glad it works :)

PS. You can probably whack the bitrate right down on the file to make it smaller - the source is AM speech so you won't lose much quality.

Oh yeah. But as it was quite late I couldn't be bothered. ;)
The source was actually a DVB-T transport stream containing MP3 audio. (or at least that's what came into the computer)
I wanted to find out the source bitrate/etc. and match that but I got tired and just wanted to get the clip done and go to sleep. I'll look at it later. Maybe...

MEN article says;
Quote:
“Driving is the most dangerous work activity people do, with company car drivers, and people who do a high annual mileage at work, up to 50 per cent more likely to crash than private motorists.”

but they probably do at least four times the mileage, so are actually much safer drivers.


That article says:

Quote:
Van and lorry drivers and sales reps travelling during company time are responsible for up to a third of all accidents, latest figures show.


Doesn't that mean that two thirds of accidents are caused by people not on company time? If so surely the company drivers are half as likely to cause a crash not 50% more likely.

Not exactly: you can't draw any conclusion without knowing the relative mileages.
