Hmm... There is a problem with time estimation there, if frames take a 
very different amount of time. But 55 seconds vs 5 minutes isn't much 
difference.

I can encode the video and send you that. Last render I did ended up in 
340MB of PNG images, but I sent back a 4.5MB video (with somewhat low 
quality).

Ah, just insane max_trace_level then? :)
