did you try to use QuickTime player objectys, if that is an option? I remember that I made some test a couple of years a go and the winner was a QT player, here my results from 2006. I used a Rev image object, Trevors Enhanced QuickTime Extrenal saved I pulled an image in the desired size to disk and I set the filename of a Rev image. The results are quite impressive! Please remember that I do the tests on my "ancient" G4 with 1 Ghz but 1 GB RAM :-) ############################## I set the filename of a Rev image, computed the correct size from the "formatted dimensions" and adjusted heigth/width accordingly, same for players. Dimensions are in pixels, times in milliseconds. Image dimensions: 2560*1920 Thumbnailsize: 60*60 qtsnap2var: 572 Rev img: 1786 Player: 78 !!!!
