Yes I use Media Cleaner Pro to compress, I render with no compression schemes at all till the final compilation, if you use a codec for each animation clip, then you recompress to make a simple movie you degrade the quality by compressing it more than once, I render everything with no compression out of Bryce, then edit, and compresss when it's in digital format, makes life a lot easier hehe. Never compress your animation or video until it's time to compile for the last call on putting it out. But for the web, 12-15 FPS will work and I use MPG4 QT now so it makes my worls and user's a lot easier to view.

Do atleast one thing a day that scares the hell outta ya!!
