Sorry, I didn't see your post, No those are 32 color web optimised GIF's LOL, I capture in true color

The picture quality is excellent. I realy haven't done much cut and paste with my mpeg-2 captures yet, I've been importing the captures and then using terran 5 to compress to VCD compliant mpeg-1 and my gawd that is an awesome combination.
I'll have a little time later today before I go back to work and cut some comercials out and let you know definately.
