Ok I see    I only tested it on one video.
I will try it when she comes home again at the weekend.

Depending upon the number of video files to be processed, you might find it best to perform the task overnight when the system does not have any human users calling upon its capabilities. A cron job, perhaps?

Yes that would be a good idea, I think in the first day there would be about 20 ?.
She has opted to use her own camera and her spare battery,  she can turn the sound off on that too, but the uni has now lent her a second video camera but it's the lack of batteries with them for the 4 hours (for 10 days  ) of videoing she wants to do .

if I use my hi8 camcorder with the battery from my pro DV camera, I get 10 hours

Its a pain because the uni should have spare batteries  , It would not take them long to order some

yeah they should, or at least extended capacity ones. Probably too expensive for them though.
