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. Frank
