Ditch the .htm, and have a SMIL file that references the .jpg files directly <par> <video src="foo.rm"/> <seq> <img src="foo1.jpg" dur="65s"/> <img src="foo2.jpg" dur="75s"/> <img src="foo3.jpg" dur="60s"/> <img src="foo4.jpg" dur="55s"/> </seq> </par> 2. With SMIL 2.0, you can use SMIL to synchronize the audio/video with HTML pages in a unified presentation: <par> <video src="foo.rm"/> <a href="foo1.html" accuate="onLoad" begin="0s"/> <a href="foo2.html" accuate="onLoad" begin="65s"/> <a href="foo3.html" accuate="onLoad" begin="140s"/> <a href="foo4.html" accuate="onLoad" begin="200s"/> </par> (see http://www.realnetworks.com for details on the RealOne player, which supports SMIL 2.0) >I basically want the slides (.htm pages) to load into my browser at >certain appropraite time points so it is synchronised with my video >file.

RealPlayer 7 and beyond can support direct referencing of JPEGs and GIFs, and can use the indirect mechanism for HTML described above. Rob
