When i play South Park The Movie on my PC's DVD (Sony 24" 1920x1200)
it just gets me all hot and bothered, encoder wise.
I want to make mpegs that good. (i drool over the paper cutouts, not the
CG stuff)

So i discovered VirtualDub.
I run my 3500 720x512 PNG frames through mpeg_encode at the highest
quality.
This yields a pretty unplayable, yet correct mpeg.
I then pass that through VirtualDub using the Microsoft MPEG-4 Video
Codec V2
which gives me decent avi file.  Actually, it looks like crap next to
the
aforementioned South Park DVD, but it is getting there. (slow movement
is bad
and gets that avi blocky look)

I'm going to try Flask MPEG next.
