Brian, You seem to be confusing what I am asking. I know what a DIB is and I have used them quite well. We have purchased the Animation Support Library (ASL) from Autodesk. The ASL reads frames from a FLI into a structure called a RASTER. What I need is a routine to convert the ASL's raster format into a DIB which I can use in my application. In the documentation which comes with ASL it is explained that there are three different kinds of rasters. 1) A video raster 2) A virtual raster 3) A custom raster. What I think I need is a virtual raster which I can somehow convert into DIB data. I need to know if a ram raster is compressed, whether it is bottom to top like a DIB, etc. >> Mike
