In the "moving" setting Snappy captures a field (the same thing you would see on a TV with a moving image if you only had 1/60 to look at it), Then it shuffles that signal through the parallel port. Now the software looks at that video data and converts it to a computer image (bitmap). In the various "still" settings Snappy captures a field multiple times (each time a little differently) and by comparing the fields can make an increadibly sharp image. This, of course, requires that the video signal remains the same during all of the sepeate captures. The best way to expain this is to demonstate it on a real Snappy. If you don't already have a Snappy, ask your local shop for a demonstation (the nicer ones will let you play with it before you buy). Please reply if I confused you more. Being a programmer (not a custumer service rep), I tend to do that. Ted Pabon 72407,3633 Software Developer at Play
