Was playing around with fire/plasa effects, and unintentionally came up with
this weirdness.

I couldn't play it, QuickTime Player gave an error saying "the required 
compressor could not be found". Probably something about the way you 
encoded it.

Nice flicker. If it could be constrained to a plane it might be adjusted to make
a good fire or candle

Very cool (or hot).  Reminds of what might have been in the old Star Trek TV
show for the starship Enterprises' antimatter engines, were they ever seen.
Info: this animation used Indeo video 5.07 decompression filter here for
playback although I'm guessing earlier versions might play it also.

So sorry ... I use Indeo 5.0x for compression if that helps ...

Once again I came up with no suitable decompressor can be found. What
codec does this use and how do I install new codecs?

Thanks for the compliment ... no thanks for the insult. How can you assume
what I know or don't know? I happen to know exactly what plasma is. No, I've
never seen it.  I was referring to the "plasma" effects which were popular
in Amiga & PC demos in the eighties and early nineties.

I would be highly surprised if he hasn't seen plasma. Even a normal 
flame contains plasma. Neon lights, auroras, and the sun are also 
examples of a plasma. Lightning is caused by an electrical discharge 
creating a stream of plasma in the air(the actual process is more 
complex, of course). If you have ever seen Saint Elmo's fire(I haven't, 
but it is a type of corona discharge that happens at the tip of pointed 
objects like church towers or ship masts in stormy weather), that is due 
to plasma. And those "plasma globes", glass spheres with "lightning" 
inside them that is attracted to your hands when you touch the globe, 
are also an example of a plasma.

Plasma can look like almost anything, in some ways metals and 
semiconductors can be considered plasmas. But the term is usually used 
to refer to a gas where electrons have been stripped from their atoms. 
Due to electrons being torn away from and recombining with atoms, it 
often glows visibly. However, since I can't view this animation, I can't 
tell if it looks anything like any kind of plasma.

And the term "plasma" is also used to refer to a kind of fractal. I 
don't know why, though...
