The frame rate can be set only using the dropdown box with the 8 fixed
values. Not very flexible, but it's a feature of CMPEG itself. Can't be
helped, I'm afraid...

Glad to see you got this far with it Sander.  I was perfectly happy before, now
I'm ecstatic.  Thanks once again.
It's really too bad the frame rates are fixed to those choices.  I keep wanting
a 15 fps animation since it takes less rendering and can still often look fine
if no fast object or camera motions are done.  This doesn't keep me from using
Cmpeg though because it's a quick encode and especially good with the easy 1-2-3
steps to create, build, and then view so simply.
I cannot lie though... I will use something else altogether if it's easier and
better and I can find such a thing.  Think that may not happen anytime soon.

Well, VideoMach is available now which is basically a new version
of Fast Movie Processor which can do mpeg now. I have to play around
with it to see if it's any good though.

VideoMach looks really good.  But don't go away just yet Sander, please.  It's
45 US$ minimum (FMP registration then I guess free upgrade to VM) and 30 day
evaluation and Cmpeg Front-End is still great for quickly throwing together a
moderate Mpg animation.  I didn't read everything about VideoMach I could find
just yet but I love the Png input, also the output and processing options make
my VideoWave II look mediocre.
Thanks for the link to that Phil.

One nice thing about the VideoMach is that you can add audio.

Has anybody ever tried to contact the author of cmpeg, to ask wether he 
will release the source of it?

Good idea, but then a _real_ programmer will have to look at it. Not me...

No problem. About the registration fee though,  you can still
use it for free as long as there's no commercial use.

From the Registration file:

COMMERCIAL LICENSE
  ------------------
  Single copy.................... US $55
  Additional copies.............. US $25 per copy


  NON-COMMERCIAL REGISTRATION
  ---------------------------
  Though people that don't make profit using this software are 
  not obligated to register, non-commercial registration has 
  its benefits (see License Agreement).

  Single copy.................... US $19

Also, in Section 1 of the License Agreement it mentions the terms
for free useage.

==================================================================
BTW, Ken if your reading this, Fast Movie Processor is not available
anymore. VideoMachII is it's replacement; for the next time you update
links.

It is still available for download from ZDnet at -

And I will change the link title to the Fast Movie Processor to reflect
the changes. Thanks for the input.

Yes, I see now, I've read the about the registration and license agreement.
Thanks again.  $19 is a good price for this.
