There are some lately who say that, but I haven't had issues with JPG
files.... so I'm not doing it myself.

It's interesting to me that, when you use MM2 to take snapshots from your
video files to use as still picture clips in a movie, the saved snapshot
files are JPG.... so, I'd say that, by design, MM2 should handle jpg files
equally well.

The sample still images used by MM2 to preview transitions and effects are
also JPG files.
