converting or formating bit

[purusingh]

while converting bmp file into jpg we could save much more disk space. How could we do this using api.
What is different between bmp and jpg format?

check out the file format specifications on www.wotsit.org and www.filespecs.com, that should give you somewhere to start.

Also try checking www.planetsourcecode.com as someone else has probably posted something there that does this.
