Hi.
I ran into a problem creating an animation with CMPEG.  I rendered 500 
frames, 320x240, and used CMPEG to create an MPEG movie.  Unfortunately 
it came out to be 11 Meg).  The other problem is that it doesn't play on 
my WIN98 (233 Pentium, 160Meg memory) system.  Even my 433 WinNT system 
exhibits strange symptoms while running it.  The slide bar on Windows 
Media Player doesn't move while it plays, and, while it reaches the last 
frame and stops, the WMP doesn't seem to realize it finished.  The 
"Stop" button is still displayed and it doesn't loop.  Also, I can't use 
the slide to position the movie to individual frames.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Is there any other free software besides CMPEG for creating MPEG movies?

Thanks.

(The movie is the spaceship Valley Forge from the movie "Silent Running" 
passing in front of the camera.  There's another movie of it and a still 
picture at
