Randy, I was actually refering to "squeeze" type compression, which is a
totally different beast altogether. "Squeeze" in the context I was using,
is when you shrink the size of the inset picture, while retaining it's
resolution in the reduced aspect ratio. Toaster mimicks the effect by using
small groups of pixels manipulated together to form checkers of the
original image. The high end units have resolution that would be considered
an order of magnitude above and beyond toaster's current capabilities, even
with the 2.0 software, it's limitations are in hardware.
