The TIFF formats supported by VideoCenterMini is described in the table below.
Note that the JPEG-TIFF format is Compression = 7, not Compression = 6. Compression = 6 is defined in TIFF 6.0 but turns out
not bug free. Compression = 7 is defined in TIFF technical note #2 as a replacement. VideoCenterMini reads and writes only
Compression = 7 type TIFF file.
Mnay existing graphic package,including the image program comes with Windows 2000, works only with Compression = 6 tiff file. In this case, you should convert the tiff file to the uncompress format first.
