What's XIE ? Is that like XIL ? By the way, another point: Microsoft is already working on an API that takes interlaced into consideration. They do that because it becomes possible to implement MPEG-2 (DVD) in software, using MMX and some hardware acceleration. Unix has accumulated a considerable retard with regard to multimedia APIs, and I don't see how it can recover from that, really... I still love Linux, but like everyone else, I'll be moving to the MS platform to make $$$$. -t
