You used some old codecs that should work for most purposes but not for
raytraced animations where you *care* about every pixel. Still, you have
to be a little bit less caring because in the end, when you finish with
a 100+Mb video you'll need a fast system to be able to play it smoothly.
So it's finding the right balalnce between file size and image quality
(can you tell I've been struggling with this for days quite recently?).
Divx would probably be your best option. You can also set the
compression level for sound and get quite a lot out of that without
losing much of the sound quality - especially with the Prodigy, perhaps.
;)
But again: you'll have to let go of the pixel precision. For moving
images this often isn't very relevant for the average user anyway.
