I've tried Smaker too. If I create an AVI there are the same options to choose
from. Can somebody explain to me what exactly key frame rate and data rate
options do? Smaker and Bink look very interesting but I don't really like the
advertisement at the end of the movie and I really need a format that will run
from a CD on (almost) ANY system (OK I could make an exe... I agree... great
option...but...).

(By the way what are the differences and advantages between Smaker and Bink
formats? Which one is better for gray scale animations and which for color?)

Thanks for your help!
