thx a lot for the recommendation.
It does indeed play back those .ts files (in good picture quality) and
grab pics too.
But, when it grab pics it seems to degrade the picture-quality! I have no
idea why, but those .BMP files seems be kinda "jaggy" in the edges.
Im using v.2.2 trial, with no codecs or anything extra applied.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Morten

That worked! - big thanks man!
Now i only have a problem with grabbing pics continously. That is...i can
actually grab the pics, but after having frame-advanced one frame at a
time around 10 times, it halts, where it refuses to do frame advance, for
a couple of minutes gets a bit tiresome in the long run, a shame
really, since everything else works so perfect now.
I guess i better have to send an email to the support-team of the
proggie, cos it sounds like a bug to me.

Thanks again.
