Hello again! The drop down list of CODECs in PM2 suffers from an inconsistancy in the AVI spec that Intel chooses to implement oddly. In other words, if PhotoMorph doesn't see the CODEC version number in the "right" place, it gets confused. If you have more than one listing for Indeo, one is a different version, that PhotoMorph doesn't 'know' about. Chosing it will yeild the real compressor, it just appears wrong on the list. You can check the compression of an AVI file by using Media Player and choosing Configure from the Device menu once you've loaded the AVI file you wish to check. The Media Player is in your Accessories group. Now, that being said, the infamous v2.02 'knows' about more flavors of Indeo, including v3.2. V2.02 is in the final stages of beta testing. We thought we had it, but Friday we found a couple of new bugs. It is our intent to make 2.02 as bug free as possible. We've also added a *few* new features, increased the morphing and warping speed, and there is documentation in the README! 🙂 I hope that 2.02 will be ready by the end of this week, but don't bet on it. If ANYONE knows a BUG with PhotoMorph, now is the time to come forward. Thanks, -Ed
