Hi Greg,

You understood me perfectly.  I be honest with you, I am not very good in
video either.  I like it and I am trying to learn from it.  Anyhow, I think
reversing the polarity would not do anything and it would just reverse the
picture.  I have not tried it but that is my assumption.  I will try it as
soon as possible.
Thank you for taking time and responding to me,

John.
