Prompt if a graphic is being converted from a different video
standard or file format
Displays a prompt any time you try to open a graphic file recorded
in a different resolution. This can happen if the graphic was
recorded under a different video standard (PAL, NTSC, PAL 16x9,
or NTSC 16x9) or imported from another file format (Windows
bitmaps, Targa files, etc.).
Although FXDeko automatically converts these graphics to the
current resolution, the conversion process takes time, which can
slow recall time and sequence playback. You may want to re-record
these files in the current resolution using the Save As (F12)
command from the File menu.

pixels on the full screen depends on the video standard:
720x486 for NTSC or 720x576 for PAL.
