It is virtually impossible to do this from most PCs without a heck of a lot of compression. Your hard disk and CPU can not feed your display fast enough. That is why you need a MPEG card or MJPG Card to put out ok video. If you have a tun of RAM you could try loading it into MAXs RAM player and playing it from memory. Dave "morscad Inc."
