Costumed flags, PBO compression and .ogg format files

[MorMel]

I'm using v1.0 of OFP and I realized, during a peronalized mission, that my costumed flags appear to be distorted (not undulating) or cut in the middle when I'm close to it/them. Does it happen on further versions of OFP? How can i repair this bug? I have already tried to adjust my flags to look right (check the attached zip, there are two flags on both .jpg and .paa format) yet this time, though they look pretty good when you're close to them, you can detect the adjustement when you're away from them (it also happens during scenes, even if the camera is very close to the damn flag...). How is it possible?

Now the other subject: Where can i find a PBO encrypter that does not compress .htm, .sqs, .paa, .ext, .ogg, and a few more formats that don't need to be encrypted, yet compressing the main formats like .sqm, and .p3d? It's is required to compress campaigns, as the official Mission Editor does not read folders without extension...  :-\

Now speaking about .ogg files, what is needed to record a file in that format? I tried out the dbPowerAmp Conventer but my computer crashes when i use those files in the game... Is there any recomended bitrate and frequency? Or is the codec version 9.0 that doesn't covert wav and mp3 on the right way?  

If anybody knows the answer for each subject, i'll reward with an artillery, camera rotation and tracking scripts and a PhotoShop file format with the configuration needed to create TGA files with alpha channel (transparency), which can be used to create .paa and .pac files.    ;D

Yes the flags bug is fixed in the later versions...atleast i believe so because i havent seen anything of which u speak of and i use version 1.46.                                  

#2 you can use makepbo tool from the ofpec editors section (not sure if makepbo is the name but something like that) and u can choose which files u want to encrypt and compress.

 #3 i use Dbpoweramp only to convert MP3's to wav files...then i use an ogg converter from there...u can get ogg converters from the editors section on here under tools section also. I reccommend a bitrate of 64 it works just fine. ummm i think that covers it all...hope this helps.

Hey, Pandoz! I'm very thankful for your apreciation yet I'm not sure to have my doubts solved...  :-\
I found the page wich you talk about at Editors Depot / Sound Tools. However that's the page I used to download the codec for dbPowerAmp (version 9.0), the one that crashes up my computer... could you give me your codec?   I would be owing you one!
