Erik, I'm glad someone with experience is trying to sort out the animation playback puzzle. Don't forget to consider the animation format used for playack. Anim7 is excellent. I hear the SCALA Anim32 format is great on AGA anims and anims in general. What about DCTV anims? Opal anims? (I can give insight to Opal anims which are pretty darn good except lo-res). One of the best animation programs for pre-AGA animations is Pageflipper plus F/X. Unavailable however. Then there is the consideration of Amiga model used, which I see you're working on. I would be glad to offer any assistance to your project on anim speed/anim quality. I have an A2000/040 and Opalvision. Erik, have you considered this? What is better: an animation at high-res non-interlaced or lo-res interlaced. The speed I believe is about the same but I have heard differing opinions on which is better in quality for video tape. I can't decide myself. John
