Hello Baltoro, I am not using GetPixel/SetPixel. Instead I am using the Bitmap's scanline property to get a pointer to that memory area and simply walking a pointer over that area in a tight loop. I do have access to the bitmap, in fact I call Delphi's JPEG code to decompress, with some optimizations I added to avoid needless memory reallocations between JPEG frames. I have since learned that there is an extension called DXVA (DirectX Video Acceleration), but that it is really tough to work with. However, I was also told that there probably already are JPEG compressors on my system that make use of DXVA. It might end up being an issue of learning how (if possible) to use DirectX to utilize those hardware accelerated compressors, but I have no idea to go about doing that currently. Thanks, Robert
