its a great bit of kit

but it did cost me an arm and a leg when i got it

When you click on time machine, it will should you pages on every backup schedule.  Is it possible to delete some of the old backup from there?

I think you talking about HD file. As I know up to this moment, no free application fully support MTS format, but you can try this:

MHplay.exe with .mts playback added: http://electriac.googlepages.com/mhplay.exe

Also, I found out some info from the net and wish can help:

Free AVCHD Player - Oxygen AVCHD player: http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Oxygen_AVCHD_Player.html

Egg --> King of research...always that fast to find out the answer.

I cut my HD video clip with the program which come with the SONY camrecorder....

no i cant delete it any back ups from the time machine software itself

there isnt an option that allows me to

cause u said bro egg is DLD   sounds like Donald Duck   then egg become DUCK egg   

ndc, I read that under the Gear menu there is a Delete Backup option.  Is it really there?
