Both your >>flics are the same resolution and same number of frames, right? I'm

It did !!!
I Re-rendered the animation with a custom pallette taken from 1 frame of the
animation, set the pixel size to 1.0, turned all the dither options off and
re-rendered. the file size went from 2.5MB to 1.3MB with no loss of detail and
a rock steady background image (no pixel crawl).
You have saved me hours of tinkering with 3DS.
Thanks
