Ok, Can you help me further: It's not limited to dds. If you use osgconv xxx.dds xxx.ivs you will probably have the same effect. So I think simply ommitting DDS is ok? Also, much more important, the comment is not about 'your video driver'. It is in your (Vivian) case even wrong. Your driver will display this fine. So, in the end I do not care if it is 'your particular video driver' that does not like this. You will just see this in the best case as the models look wrong, and in the worst case fgfs just crashes the driver if these textures are used. What I really care about is that these files are expected not to work on a huge amount of graphics boards out there. The point is to tell people doing textures that they should omit compression so that this message disapears. Ideas how to write this? Thanks!!! An other thing: On unix I usually get the gzip plugin installed by osg (osgdb_gz.so). Is this also the case for the default win32 case? Is there a osgdb_gz.dll or something along the lines in the directory containing the plugins? If yes, we can already tackle the size problem of the uncompressed dds files on disk by just gzip compressing these makging a xxx.dds.gz from a xxx.dds and just refering to xxx.dds.gz instead of xxx.dds. At least this works fine here. And I assume that this works fine for all unix like operating systems including mac?! James?
