Hmm. No, I mean that when you click browse, you can't just type the name 
in and have TMPGEnc know where to find it, it will look in 'its' default 
folder, not "POVimages". You have to actually click through the file 
dialog until you are in the right directory and select the file from 
there. I assume this is likely what you are doing wrong, but I can't be 
sure. If not, then I haven't a clue. BMPs are one of the default files it 
should read. I suspect that it is actually incorrectly saying "Invalid 
Video Source", when it *should* be saying "File Not Found". If you don't 
see the bmp files in the file list or "POVimages" in the box at the top 
left, then you are not pointing TMPGEnc to the right place to find them.
