Kooshmeister, I really don't think the photo hosting service would have anything to do with it.

Antp, I did crop the above images with Windows Vista Snipping Tool and resize with XnView, but they did not change much. By the way, the "raw" images already met the file size kb limitations, it was just the maximum allowable width dimension that was excessive.

I wonder if the "pixelation" is due to either the source material or if it has something to do with the media player/image capture program Kooshmeister is using?
