Try removing `-compress rle` command. I know that there is a bug in
netpbm when using rle or scanline compression when creating images.
Imagemagick might have that same bug.

Do you actually mean that the home record IS an image, or HAS an image?
If it is an image, I don't think it's supposed to work that way :)

I've played with this idea before. It was tempting becuase Sony has
the (supposedly) built in hardware jpeg library support. Unfortunatly
they built it with such a stupid API, it will only work if you're
writing to or from an external memory card, not to or from a memory
handle or a bitmap pointer.

So in order for this to work, we first copy the specific image into
the MS, then re-read it to tell the API to load the image, and then
it's displayed. The end result is that it actually takes longer to
handle jpegs and even then there were random bugs in the images!

I was so mad at the Sony API I kicked it across the room and said
"Bah, to hell with this!" :)

I have attempted to port libpng over (similar to how zlib was ported)
into a library on the palm, and so far that method has proved to be
much more promising; but far from complete.
