-------- quotation from FAQ ------------------
Animations can be of various popular file formats such as Windows .avi,
.fli, MPEG, or Apple QuickTime, but one should consider that some
animation formats may not be viewable on all platforms and therefore may
not reach as wide of an audience. Again, using an available compression
scheme with your animation program will benefit all who use this server
by conserving disk space.
-------- end quotation from FAQ ------------------

IMO using DivX codec doesn't violate any of the above statements.
I certainly didn't want to annoy anyone here. Sorry if I did!
I think DivX gives the best quality/size ratio so I decided to convert to
my favorite video format...
What do the others say?

IMHO, Small MPG files provided with  hyperlinks to alternate versions(if 
any) in other sizes and codecs is much appreciated, and never 
controversial.

I didn't investigated DivX license earlier but now I also wonder if publishing
on www through this news server is 'personal use' supposed to be free.

Does that (TMPGEnc) work for you ?

I must confess that I have the same experience, sorry! ;-)
WMP produces less jerking when looping than other players I tried...
I tested BSPlayer, VPlayer and DivX Player...

I agree, in *that* case other products are quite sh!tty :-/

But on the other hand other products usualy don't spy on You, or don't 
allow do do *anything* on Your computer by anyone (RPC exploit aka 
msblaster trojan worm ;)

I haven't tried to put the animation file in a ram disk, that could solve
the problem...
