Oki, it might tak a wile but I will do it (currently both my PCs are 
rendering ~5 days animation).

I watch raw pov output (or - convert .png's into uncompressed RGB avi or 
losseless MPNG, or losseless YUV codec).

Perhaps flickering _is_ there, but codec get rigs of it for YOu (decreasing  
output quality)? The flickering is quite delicate (but still notacible in 
hi-quality movie) - can You check also .png's before compression?

under linux You ca ndo it easyly by:
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-enc-images.html

mencoder mf:// -mf fps=25:type=png -ovc raw -oac copy -o output.avi
(or lower FPS rate).

Btw, is there a good, easy to use image viewing program for Linux that can 
use one key (like space-bar) to go to next image in directory (something 
like irfanview or ACDsee)?

PS Can You please present source of YOur's test scene?
