That's pretty much the way I have it.  Though I had to _move_ the odd-colored
cone around a full revolution in order to get that sense of motion.  That took
some figuring.  The Belt moves around several times, but the counterweights on
the cranksshaft have to make a full 360-degree revolution.

I can probably just add a modifier to the belt motion to have it bounce up and
down a little during the movement.

Computers do have a [delete] function.  ;D
Or you could just burn them off to DVD.

Does the bmp vs png source affect the final video size, or it its own
independent format?
