that sounds like a good idea. anyway, my SMPTEDecoder is only a decoder, as it's name kinda suggest. I did write an encoder as well, though I have no idea where I left that code. That's more than 6 years ago. Anyway, encoding is be a lot easier than decoding. But if you want I can look for the code (don't hold your breath though) Maarten
