But... a bit buggy still- especially as ragrds
TGA's and sound. I'd stick to AVI2MPG for now,
CMPEG is used a lot but it's not fun to use at
all. I used AVI2MPG on my IRTC entry and got a
200MB+ uncompressed AVI down to 5MPG with stereo
sound and liked the quality a lot- 1800 frames or
so.

Yeah, but ask yourself... why are you really
interested?

Sander's (a povray newsgroup attendee) Cmpeg front-end makes it a little more
fun. Can be run from Windows instead of DOS and is fairly straightforward,
even has animation preview. CMPEG being limited in frame resolution is the
main drawback to it, only MPEG1 files made too, but very compatible with
players it seems.
http://stols.net/ then the CMPG63M link there.
I still use my batch file to run CMPEG in DOS to make the small animations I
do. Makes web-friendly files.

Try getting Videomach from http://www.gromada.com (I'm assuming you're
using win9x here)
As far as I understand it, it's free for personal, non-commercial use,
and it will read in your raw .tga's and write out whatever format you
have the codec for.
Hope this was some use.
Bye for now,
Jamie.

Yep, it did. Yay. Thanks.

Good pointer. Thanks.
Upon downloading, I found that it only takes uncompressed image files. Ick.
I've written a .PNG reader plugin for tmpgenc. If anyone else wants a copy of
it, just let me know.

somwhere on the net ?

That could be really useful, since tgas are rather large. Whatever you do,
could you send me a copy?

I've never tried giving it image files. I usually pass it an AVI
to convert, and I'm pretty sure it can use both raw and
compressed AVIs.

I'm sure it can. However, a raw AVI isn't going to let me make this huge
animation in my limited harddrive space. And I haven't taken stock of my AVI
CODECs lately, but last time I checked, most (all?) of the compressed formats
I have access to are lossy. I'd rather avoid lossiness until the final
(MPEG-encode) stage if I can.

I'll post it to this news server. Hmm... how about povray.binaries.utilities?
That looks like a good spot.
Enjoy!
