Actually, I've gotten into the habit of including a CD with all the books — when you are working with multimedia, it's lots better to have tons of storage space. <g> No, I won't be at Siggraph; I hate travelling, and I hate the cost of hotels even more. <g> It would be fun, actually, but authoring isn't as lucrative as I would like, so I am limited in what I can attend each year. AVI to FLI? Not without a little effort. None of the capture cards do 320×200, so you'd need to do some cropping or resizing. I generally convert to bitmaps, and use Animator Pro 1.3 for stuff like that. It doesn't do direct conversions, but it's not *too* bad to convert using DIB Sequences. <g> Ron

Ron, << AVI to FLI? Not without a little effort. >> To repeat a message my Mike 4D to Michael Graves Jul 21st…."Whilst searching around for a video to .flc solution, I came across WinImages:morph from Black Belt systems. In addition to allowing still and animation morphs, it will read in AVI, FLI, FLC, TIF's , GIF's, etc, and save the Morph to BMPs, FLI, FLC, AVI, TGA……Well you get the idea. So, for now, the cheapest solution for low-res is Intel's SVR, Vid for Win, and this Morph thing….." I just signed on to handle the Blackbelt product…I'll let you know what I think once I've spent more time in it. So far with the tutorial it's a hoot. They also use an on-line manual linked with the program. For what it's worth Dept. James M. Murphy

J=UIz UAQ%=9 95*$+W.]Z3y quite a bit of it and a tax write-off as well. Of course you have to put the money out up front but anyway… thanks for your input. If its not as lucrative as you would like, I would bet that if you stay with it, its just a matter of time. Best of luck, will check out your works, as it is good to have a well versed resource in this constantly changing environment. -JE

Looks like I missed most of your message. I don't know if it was a garble during upload or download, however, but I only got a few lines of your message and a bunch of %^#@(@^#$(^ stuff. <g> I think I got the basic idea, however — that it's just a matter of time. Actually, it must be in the percentages, as my book Multimedia Madness is the #2 best selling book at Sams, or so I am told. Maybe I need a bigger piece of the pie??? <g> Ron
