ok guys preciated, no need for a war though lol.....my only concern with rendering frames, is the need to render a keyframe every second to recompile a smooth animation, for short facial or speech shots, I would as Mr Bean says, render an animation so I don't have to retime the audio.

It might be just me, but Ive found rendering frames and recompiling them doesnt always give the smoothest animation on close ups, seems a bit jittery.....

I shall as the x factor contestants constantly say, take all this info on board, and run with it before the axes of avi meet the flails of frames :)
