Glad to hear that. I actually hadn't realized that --frame_interval was decimal-point compliant (: but I suspect the real solution is to use time-based intervals, perhaps along the lines of your earlier suggestion: -c 0:00:00-2:00:00/0:00:10 or the like. --Andrew Church [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://achurch.org/
