Also, I'd like to personally thank the external Toledo Webboard testers for helping to squash those bugs and for doing such a good job of finding them.

A special thanks also to Semir Nouri of JVC Europe for providing me with an HDV camera.

I'd also like to thank my family and friends for letting me share their images that appear throughout this book; and I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to my general well-being and happiness during the production of this book.

And last but not least I'd like to thank my wife for having the presence of mind to encourage me back to writing.
