ah, a flip mirror. Excellent! Makes it much easier than having to take them out and swap them.

That would annoy me too, as all the avi's would be different orientations etc. I already had a flip mirror, so it was a no brainer for me. Next step is to see how long the colour lasts. Can I take a colour avi, then several mono ones, and still use the original colour?

I guess you could, as long as they were in quick succession. But any more than 5 minutes and I expect you'd notice some rotation and you'd have to shift the colour image too far to line it up. You might end up with no colour data on the limbs, which may or may not look too bad.
Here are the 2 images I took using DMK as luminance and ToUcam as colour, back in end-June 2006 when I first got my DMK. You can even see from those images the greater sensitivity and resolution of the DMK.
