Or
Irfanview's batch converter function:
http://www.irfanview.de/ (It's an mostly English site though it has a German domain)

Also,
DeathRow', I would suggest either
XnView or
any other "
Image Viewer" available at
this location, if you want to convert Graphics Files into
different file-formats...

You can also use Paint Shop Pro

Darth', you will be able to download the
GNU
Image
Manipulation
Program at the following address : "
http://www.gimp.org/"
PS : By the way, have you succeeded in converting your
Targa files into different file-formats thanks to
XnView or the other "
Image Viewers" I advised to you ?

How do you take photos???

General', while you're playing at
Star Wars Battlefront II, you must press the "
[Print Screen]" key in order to take screen-captures of the
current scene, which are then transcoded into
Targa Graphics Files and stored in the "
LucasArts\Star Wars Battlefront II\GameData\ScreenShots" directory...

And if the game crashes when you use the print screen, than you could use Fraps...

In that case, I would suggest reading the following steps,
Darth' :
- Open XnView
- Go in the "Tools > Batch Conversion" menu
- In the newly-opened window, click on the "Add" button present in the "Source" field
- Browse your Hard-Drive till the directory containing the Targa files you wish to put into JPEG ones
- In the "Destination" section, click on the "..." button
- Select the folder in which all converted Graphics Files will be sent to
- Chose the file-format you want the above files to be encoded into
- Click on the "Launch" button in order to proceed to the "Conversion Process"

You're welcome, DeathRow'...
PS : Since this topic does not have many common links with Star Wars Battlefront II, I guess it should have been moved to the "Anything Goes..." section earlier...
