Your explanation makes sense. I tried looking at the photos in slideshow, and they do look quite a bit better, but still not quite as good as the screensaver. The movie played in Quicktime looks better than shown in iMovie, but still nowhere as good as the screensaver. I guess I'm being greedy. I don't want to give up resolution for special effects. I want it all! And then some. Thanks for the help. Peter
