Carlton, The people I'm working with used Debabelizer to convert a GIF animation which they got from me. The problem is that the throughput on the Mac seems to severly limited. So that when they had done the conversion and put them into Mac Premier they could get nowhere near the kind of throughput we've come to expect from programs like SMACKER et al. They've written their own Compression Codex (codec?) for a cross platform Kiosk and the lowest common denominator appears to be the limitations of the Mac. So the animation and intro have become severly limited to the point that they can't even fly a logo over the top of a low delta 640×480 animation. I just wondered if you or anyone else had experienced that same kind of lack of performance with CD's on the Mac. Seems odd to me as I've heard a lot of hype about how the Mac was an ideal Kiosk creation platform among other things. Thanks, -JE
