Hi Wojtek! First thanks for the quick response. You wrote:

If you say, DDS files are not compressed, the DXTn compression doesn't matter, because the algorithms are hardware accelerated? Did this features (being not compressed) pays off even if I write my scene into an IVE-file and load this file later on in another OSG application? I would say no, because PNG and JPG textures will also be stored decompressed, isn't it? > DDS in OSG has support for a number of most used pixel > formats (but not all) and 2D & 3D textures.

Okay, than I have to check for example the GIMP plug-in for writing DDS files because my currently used graphic application writes only RGB(A). > But there is one issue you should be aware about.

I'm already aware of this issue (because I searched the forum about DDS and found a thread about flipped DDS textures) but nevertheless thanks for the hint.
