Though the point was to compress the file so it could be sent to the other computer faster (30 FPS per camera), so I'm not sure if the round trip of loading / saving will actually speed anything up? Then again, maybe it would, with that happening on the local hard drive*, where the compressed image getting sent over the wire opens the bottleneck? Only one way to find out!
Of course. Open BMP file with the _Loadimage function and save it as a JPG with the _SaveImage function.
*What if the local file operations were done on a virtual RAM drive**, would that add any speed? Then again, these days with SSDs, which pretty much ARE RAM drives, are we already doing that? Do I enjoy overthinking this crap?? Never mind... carry on!
**Are those even a thing anymore?
