Your observation is correct. The main reason is that even the extended
MPEG-1 animations frequently "bend" the MPEG-1 standard so much, they cannot
be viewed everywhere and always without problems. So there is little point
in sticking to that format, and usually the choice of codec is dominated by
the kind of animation and the desired audience. Of course you could also
post in main profile MPEG-2 format, but then you could only get a few
seconds of animation posted...

Since most video cards (not to mention LCDs) cannot display that, what's the
point (unless it's a height map or somesuch intermediate data) ?

Fine. I don't wish to download images you don't want me to see. *plonk*

I assume this one:
http://www.imbjr.freeserve.co.uk/book/art/marbles.jpg
is the approved traditional jpeg? (it's linked from the URL you posted)

Preservation of the output of POV-Ray is the point, plus an attempt to
avoid gradient banding. However, this is all at the mercy of the
receiving end.

Go on, hide under a shell. We shall pass you by and laugh at the
person who couldn't be bothered with keeping up with developments in
graphics.

Sort of, but that's been editted for website usage - hence the
preservation of the book seam in the middle.

Sorry to inform you, but when I want high quality graphics, I use 4800 X
3200 bitmaps. Quite obviously, I don't post them. If I'm going to post
something, it's converted to .jpg, not something that half of the people I
want to send it to can't read. When IE in this kludge of a windoze box I'm
running can't recognize that there's an attachment there, you might as well
send the jpeg2000 to yourself.

Please have the courtesy to post a format we CAN ACTUALLY VIEW.

You are late in the game, this has aready been dealt with. Get the
