I'm having a little trouble parsing your post but a software encoder is
unlikely to reliably encode MPEG-2 on a p3-733 at 640x480.

I know AOL messages may seem strange. It is because AOL by default runs
newsgroups in a way that if one wants a text message - one gets a text meassage
- in other words a thread.

What I meant is this

I have an older machine called a P3. My first machine was a Timex/Sinclair
1000.
That means nothing - except the Timex Sinclair could output to the tv.

I just know that heavans is not against an aol subscriber I would like to know
