Of course, fiddling with the 'playback appearance' on my own machine brings up a
larger problem, now that I think of it. Since I don't yet know where the
'increased contrast' is coming from in the chain, I'm wondering what my
animation will look like on others' systems if I post it to the newsgroups.
Will others see the animation the way I intended, or will it show the contrast
problem? I have no clue.

BTW, the only trick I can use at present--to *try* and correct this slight shift
on my own system--is to tell the xvid codec to decode (play back) the animation
with a very slight increase in brightness, using its 'brightness' slider
(which may be a gamma adjustment instead, I can't yet tell.) Not such a great
work-around, because it doesn't *really* restore the exact look of the
animation.
