Wow! 17 hours on a 233 MHz G3, 10 hours on a G4? Wow! You ought to have a second computer to do something like that, or is the computer responsive enough that you can still work with it while it's doing its encoding? -Laurent. -- ===================================================================== Laurent Daudelin Developer, Multifamily, ESO, Fannie Mae mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Washington, DC, USA ********************** Usual disclaimers apply ********************** Blue Screen of Death n.: [common] This term is closely related to the older Black Screen of Death but much more common (many non-hackers have picked it up).
