  Thanks Eli, I had thought of this method but knew that the strip silence may not be very accurate. As I did not have the time to do it immediately I decided to ask the list to see if anyone could turn up any thing better before I started.   When I try it I will let you know how accurate it can be.  cheers Hector.
