floydd: why do you want to limit the animation to 30fps? If you get television quality on the computer it looks kinda ugly. You don't need to limit the framerate to capture to television either, whatever equiptment is capturing should do that (ok, I lie. I have to reduce my monitor refresh rate to 50hz...but that doesn't have anything to do with the animation file) or am I answering the wrong question? SewerRat
