Dear netters,
	I have a project which requires heavy use of still video in MicroMind
Director.  To save the memory space that the color images may take, I took
the folowing steps:
	First, I reduced the image size, resolution, so that each image will
take about 450 K. Then I used QuickTime utility to compress the image, so that
the size of each image is about 45K.  So far so good.  However, when I imported
the image into MicroMind Dir. 3.1, the size of image turned back to 450K.
	It seemed that Director 3.1 decompressed the image; however, this is
somewhat strange.  If MMD is QuickTime ready, it should be able to read the 
file in JPEG format with original size.  Could someone out there give me a
clue?  Thanks in advance.
