MPEG4 isn't OS specific. The current implementations have only been for
Windows and other popular non-*nix OSes (AFAIK), but with the OpenCodex
contest, I'm sure something good will pop up. I'm just saying for them to
let us use whatever becomes standard.

PS: I do not guarantee the correctivityness* of any of the above. It is
merely what my little, uninformed brain could chug out at 1:15AM.

*Yes, I know that's not a real word... :)

Did anybody say it is OS specific?

  Although this trend has been there for at least 5 or 10 years, it still
exasperates me.

  It's no wonder why Microsoft is so rich although it makes slow and buggy
software.

Nope, I said it's not available for non-borg operating systems.  There's a 
difference between "not possible" and "not available."

And with you in the race we can rejoice that there will be at least one entry
that is something other than a moving camera panning through insanely boring
perfect photorealistic surroundings.

Exactly what do you mean, "at least one"?

Oh, so YOU'RE entering, too? :)

I remember complaining about Rusty on his third or so appearance. I must say
that I regret doing so, in that entries which tell a story are doubly cool!

This will be the ninth Rusty animation (if I finish it).
