I've creating my second video.  My first one happens to be another hobby of
mine... boat design and can be found at:

For my second video, really a remake.  Its basically the same video with some
enhancements that have been suggested by Chris B and by my desire to make a
720p version of it.  Aside - I built up a new computer and its bringing my
render time down from about two months down to where I should have everything
rendered by the end of the weekend.  Anyone interested in building their own
system for doing this kind of work, check out this thread.

Anyway, I was starting to try and put the images together and found that the
software I was using before isn't up to the task for doing 1280x720 pixel
bitmaps.  I was using...

1) Bitmaps to AVI, AVI-Creator, it still works fine for this conversion.

2) AVI to MP4, Free AVI_TO_MP4, It down sizes them to something real small.

Can anyone suggest a better method?  I have already done a search on this forum
and checked the resources page, which led me to these.  Anyone have a better
route to get to 720p?  I want to work on Windows and prefer freeware.  I don't
really have any plans of going professional.

Thanks.
