I think you would be better off resampling your tiffs to a lower resolution as reading a series of tiffs will require less processor power (at lower res.) where jpegs require decompression. My impression was that when you create a Quicktime movie the files are converted to BMPs anyways so resampling would be your best bet for speed. My two cents. -Derek At 01:31 PM 10/04/1999 -0800, Paul McFadden wrote: > >Dear Confocal Users, > >We have been generating large amounts of Bio-Rad PIC (sometimes totalling >100MB) files by doing time lapse imaging on living cells.
