Ken, Getting a very big file with Indeo Codec is absolutely normal. It provides a truth AVI file (quite the same size as mpeg2 file). This big size is due to the 25 images/seconds frame rate. P2e that is a very clever prog and avoid having this long step. P2e only uses (I think) one basic picture for each frame and add the effect at 25 fps for the exe file. Better than that for the "pseudo AVI" file the basic pictures probably remain at their own location. Note that in your example, your AVI file is probaly only 28.8 KBits. About the quality with Indeo/Nero, the fault is probably due to Nero that is not as good as TMPGenc to encode AVI files. A better way to compare will be probaly: p2e+Indeo/TMPGenc/Nero. I also did some positive tests with the new Microsoft WMV9 standard (free codec also). May be later, it will be commonly in use in our living rooms! All this is only "to talk" and for "experiences" because we have still the right way in using PTE as it is. Have a nice day Ken

Eric, Download and install Indeo video 5.1 codec. Go to PTE codec, make the settings as Ken process, so: select "Indeo 5.1", adjust the quality to 75 etc... The process wil be long but shorter than using "uncompressed" and the quality is very good. Enjoy !

Subject: "Interlaced for TV" option Hi Igor, I currently use TPE to generate custom AVI files (16:9 1024x576 for 720:576 PAL 16:9 display) and get good results. The encoder is TMPGenc and burning prog VCDEasy. While doing some tests, I noticed that either the TPE interlaced option was selected or no, TMPGenc recognize an interlaced "video source" with both settings. No differences at TV display. What do you think about ?

Hi Eric, May be my "Create S-VCD for 16:9 PAL TV" will be interest for you.

Thanks to JRR, It's a nice way using "ThumbsPlus Galleries" to sort pictures. I use this program for many years but do not have any idea to do a batch re-number within the galleries. It's excellent! Jacques.
