How much is Showcase versus a MO drive ? The MO drive can also be used to
read many images from many other machine, Also you then have native clip and
you can use the Codec you want. I usually use Intel Indeo R 5 (I think !)

Dear Terry, Jeff Bradley, Martin Necas and Dr. Jeanty, My question has
elicited quite a deal of intervention and Information I could use
efficiently to convert my Sequoia clips into AVI. I have used the
easyer way suggested by Bradley and Necas downloading Showcase which
works very smoothly but unfortunately free for only 15 days. The most
complex but surely elegant solution proposed by the incredibly useful
lecture of Dr. Jeanty was not possible because I do not have a MO
reader. But I must thank Dr. Jeanty cordially for putting all that
information on the net for everyone's use ( I was able to download the
file on my PC at work and on my MAC at home). There are still two
problems left: the first is the different compression formats (codecs)
exporting from Showcase and the second an error given by the Sequoia
system while downloading clips to my computer. In fact, my system
allows only to save one clip at the time for every patient and after
saving it it gives an error message. Tomorrow I will contact Acuson and
try to solve that. For the codec I wonder if someone is able to give me
some information on how to handle it.
Best regards and thank you all again
