The web examples look great. It would be logical (since the Snappy has a digitiser) that it should be able to bring an AVI stream into memory without having to do the JPEG as well - but funnily I see no reference to this ? Never mind... Rgds and thanks again Mike Perth, Western Australia PS: Will contact you soon re thos interface cards when I have the money...
