Cheers, I might do that. The original files are GIF files.

So how's this as a plan:
a) Open a gif.
b) Save it as a bitmap.
c) Open the bitmap to get the header
d) Open the 1600 gif files I need and then write out the data using
GetDIBits from the picture box (or similar).

Will that work? I'd imagine speed will be an issue there :(
