   Hi Kris,   
      
   >This might be a good opportunity to mention that I'm working on adding HGR   
   conversion support to https://github.com/KrisKennaway/ii-pix/   
   >It's a Python program and optimzes for image quality rather than encoding   
   speed, so it might not be what you are looking for though.   
      
   The reason why I didn't mention ][-pix was not that it doesn't support   
   HGR so far.   
      
   The reason was rather the requirement of _both_ a Python environment   
   (with several non-standard modules) and the "right" C++ compiler to be   
   installed on the user machine doesn't make it the first choice for   
   simple integration.   
      
   And that my issue https://github.com/KrisKennaway/ii-pix/issues/3 is   
   still open doesn't make that better ;-)   
      
   However, from the image quality perspective, ][-pix is for sure the   
   best! Therefore, I used it for all my A2Stream cover arts.   
      
   Regards,   
   Oliver
