I wasn't too clear headed about this last reply so I went about trying this
out and although I got it all into a single animation there's still a
problem, namely the render resolution. Without the ini_option feature, as
found in MegaPOV, I couldn't have image size change to accomodate the final
image collection.

I'm posting what I tried anyhow, just in case you find a way around that.
Such as doing two runs instead of one.
