Sounds great! Can't wait to see it!
Any chance it can work off an avi file? I hate the extra step of using virtualdub to save the avi into bmp's. It just adds more time to the already lengthy processing steps

How do you extract your avi into bmp's?
Aahh, Grasshopper, you want to know all my secrets??

lol, actually I avoid AVI's altogether. You see, my capture software under Linux spits out each frame into a separate file so I'm starting with a directory full of individual frames, either BMP or (with the new DX camera) 16bpp FIT files.

I find this much more useful than having an AVI, it means I can easily delete broken frames, load and inspect frames in other programs like Photoshop or the Gimp, etc.

So I'm afraid you're stuck with it. I can give you the source to ppmcentre if you want to add AVI support :-)
