It's a feature I just hadn't gotten to yet.  Another thing it's good for
is when you want to rerender just a subset of the frames in an
animation.  With an AVI it is just about impossible to change things in
the middle of the stream.

I will probably support TGA, PNG, and TIF output - these are both
lossless and well supported formats (plus I already have code to do IO
on them).

Would it be better to have the output file type (e.g., TGA versus PNG)
as part of the animation options, or should I just use what was set in
the Moray options?  Clearly the choice of AVI versus individual files
has to be an animation option (until Moray has a little more native
support for animation).
