I made the video earlier after a member said he still couldn't work it out.

There you go Rich, video is embedded in post #1 now, you just need to take the capitals part of the url string and encase them with the BB code (YOUTUBE] [/YOUTUBE) - obviously using [ square brackets all the way unlike my description for demo purposes here

Ah that explains it. I thought you'd simply found it on the Tube.
If there's any detail lacking in the write-up I'll expand it if it's something specific. The button press timing is the most critical bit and the half second interval seems the most practical. Once a second is too slow and it won't work.
