True. What I tend to do to save space is to just comma-separated data which
can be #read by an SDL script. Sometimes I'll output something like

[frame number], [data],[data],[data],...
[frame number], [data],[data],[data],...
...

and occasionally I'll do something more sophisticated, with keyframes:

[time value], [data],[data],[data],...
[time value], [data],[data],[data],...
...

Either way, I have the SDL script #read in the necessary data for a certain
frame, do interpolation in the case of keyframes, and then use the data
however it wants.

The idea, of course, is to balance your need of low-level features with your
desire to avoid extra complication.
