i found that out too, disfiguring some of the avi's when they got converted, maybe it's the codecs i used
i have since installed some updated avi codecs (i'll blame microsoft)
and messed around with options and even changing the colour pallete of the gif, eventually i got something
that resembled an AVI for use with a dialog.

I'm having probs with docking with rebar.dll (even after mailing the author) but i read somewhere that a new
version of ktools.dll is being released this December, i hope it's compatible with V6.12 of mIRC.

Ok cool, a schoolbus, thanks for that.
