I'd like to run a video slide show from my Amiga-which I didn't think would be difficult, but now I've down loaded close to a dozen IFF file viewers and have yet to find one that works correctly. What I'm looking for is a viewer that will run automatically and display overscan pictures (interlace, low-res, HAM) correctly. Some reformat the overscan image for display on a montior-which is what I _don't_ need. Most of the others don't show a full overscan-a side to side, top to bottom video image from the A520. The normal failure is to show a black bar at the top. The only viewer that actually seems to work is an old viewer called "si"-and only the original version. Later versions show the first picture correctly, then a black bar at the top with all others-strange. I can't use the early version of see because it doesn't auto run, though. So does anyone know of a viewer that will do what I need?- oh, and it should run on a 1.3 machine. So far I've tried ushow, si, show, dyna-show, iff, fastview, megaview, superview, disp, and loadimage-and none will do what I need. Barry
