For those out there using the monkeyjam app to assemble animations and encode
them as MPEGs (as I do), there are some problems worth mentioning that I've
lately come across.

I really like monkeyjam's ease of use and simplicity, but certain MPEG video
codecs (especially xvid) cause some problems with the app: duplicated frames
every now and then in the final animation. The problem seems to lie within
monkeyjam itself. I came up with a workaround, using the VirtualDub app.
Rather than rehash the details here, take a look at my recent animation post
and the comments there...

I'm curious to know if anyone else has run into similar monkeyjam problems.

I've used monkeyjam on my win98 to make a music video, had no probles at 
all.
My only complant is that it can only handle 1400 frames or so.
