No. DDS generation by XBMC was added after Camelot.

Nope. You'll need SVN r23421 or higher. Then you would be able to enable DDS compression by putting

Code:
<advancedsettings>

<useddsfanart>true</useddsfanart>

</advancedsettings>

in your advancedsettings.

Is the

indented? or does that matter? I'm trying to use this on the recent Dharma beta 1 release and not having much luck. I put the advancedsetting.xml in my userdata folder and then scrolled through a few movies but nothing seems to change in the files.

Might take a little while. Check in your XBMC.log in the temp directory to see if it's generating them. It probably took me about 3 days to notice the effect, but its awesome now. (Using a Revo 1600 with 2 GB of RAM)

I thought I read that on some systems it can take up to 20-30 seconds per fanart to generate a thumb...

It definitely started working. The change is night and day.
