Yes, this is exactly what I'm looking for. I know what changed, no need to 
calc any delta's. The only thing I need to know is: how do I tell the 
encoder: "You only need to look at this rectangle, all the rest didn't 
change".
If someone could help me with that, I guess the export-time would be reduced a 
lot.
