Alessandro, Thanks, I hadn't considered buffering them to an array and writing them later because I anticipate having so many images that all my available RAM would disappear. However, I will try it right now for a relatively small number of images and see if it improves the problem. I'll post the results to this list.

IO are always slow operations. So, why you don't you buffer the images? You can put your images inside an Array or a Vector, and write it to disk later, after Stop button action.. Even this way you will have degradation in FPS, but less than direct write to disk anyway. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kasparian, Raffi J." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [JAVA3D] Capturing the Canvas3D Image > I am not having great success with the tried and true image capture > routines.
