I don't have a problem converting the BMPs to AVI, MPG, or even animated
GIF, as I use a network attached hard drive that an older OS/2 Warp machine
combines the individual frames to animation using it's built-in features for
multimedia. I am not sure if I am rendering each frame at the proper
resolution for HDTV output. TIA.
