Hi Nice little animation.. I would use Mimic to lipsinc your announcer to so he looks a little realistic. Ed

opps should read "a little more realistic"

I used MIMIC. I think I should have tweaked his mouth to exagerate opening more, so it is visible. unless I geta real close shot, the mouth is too small to see moving very well. I'm not sure how many people are (un)willing to use Bink. It is twice the quality at half the file size. But people don't think its good cause they never heard of it. How many game makers use avi? Probably none. It's so hatd to keep a avi quality up without heavy file size penanlties. Any opinions/comments? Does Bink scare everyone off?

I use Bink all the time...its great..IMHO I've used it to compress avis from 40megs to 700k with little or no visible loss in quality. Ed

It's probably just looking at the bits & bites of the underlying code. Need to install the Bink Player. See the link http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm The download is called "The RAD Video Tools"
