Am i the only one experiencing this?

Is anyone else finding that since new Tau cam was installed, we are only offered a .BMP file type to save pictures? The other AfriCam cams on the current menu used to offer .jpeg/.jpg file type but after new cam they all only offer a choice of .BMP.

If we save a pic from Tembe website for example, I can save as a .jpeg/.jpg file type but when i save from AfriCam's Tembe cam window i can only save as .BMP.

The .BMP file type is 10x the size of a .jpg. Yes, i am aware that .BMP can be converted to .JPG.

Cameraman, i can find no reference to MJPEG file type that you told me about .

I Would love to hear what other viewers are experiencing when saving pictures??

LOL, thanks, Sheila..looks like the problem is mine..

Yep, i did try the old quickie fix..that i learned years ago...to empty the cache and they then saved as .jpg again. lol But that isn't working here.

i have one more trick to try..one that we had to use long ago when AfriCam III, lol..couldn't get them to save as .jpg for any of the viewers,
and that trick is to type .jpg after the file name..ie...Tau 001.jpg and i will do that now. lol YIP...it worked lol

OK, Sheila, thanks, now you can go back to watching the futie or footie or soccer...lol ..lol
(Tonight my nose will be deep in the bowels of my computer..to find the culprit that doesn't let me save as .jpg. lol )
