I would suggest another image format. How about generating a movie file, such as mpeg? You'll save a *huge* amount of space. Plus, if you encode correctly, you'll be able to seek backwards and forwards in your file. mencoder, for example, will make a movie from a set of still frames like this: mencoder "mf://*.png" -mf fps=25 -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4 John _______________________________________________ Magick-developers mailing list Magick-developers@imagemagick.org http://studio.imagemagick.org/mailman/listinfo/magick-developers
