yes you could...but downloads would be correspondingly HUGE. Small-file sizes == greater compression == more work to decode. Less compression == less work to decode == huge file sizes. Also, MPEG2 is encumbered by licensing fees. This is why you have to purchase the MPEG2 encoder separately for Quicktime Pro. -- Bruce Johnson "Wherever you go, there you are" B.
