Clint, <The save_iff code doesn't make any distinction for dctv, it just saves as many planes as the image has. One possibility is that the save_iff code does pad lines out to even byte values after compression, but this is per IFF spec.> I'm no technical expert on IFF format but my understanding was that most programs would treat DCTV files as though they were just hi-res IFF files. That's why I'm wondering why something is getting lost or changed. One thing I did notice about this problem I'm having with saved DCTV images is that the actual pallet of the image, as displayed on my RGB monitor( after reloading into another program), actually looks different from the color pallet rendered to the RGB VIEW screen when VP initially works its magic. Instead of being the "mottled grey-green" they look more like a mottled "beige-brown". Does that help? BTW, I've been having alot of fun with VP since I upgraded to 3.04b, installed a CSA '030 derringer in my trusty old A2000, and then hooked up DCTV. This is a great combination. I hope you always support the DCTV format. Even though it's not hi-tech and pricey, it's the most economical path to fast colorful animation that I know of. <I'll be glad to send you a beta copy and we can tweak it until it works right for you, but that may be a month or more away.> Please do. I'd love to work with you on this. Kapryan Kennedy Wandering in the Wilderness On Autopilot
