Compressing AVI files Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I've been creating a new spite and wanted to create an AVI file. Unfortunately I have a problem with the software I am using. Uncompressed seems to work OK but ends up with a 16MB file! Any compression I use seems to fail (I'm using Raydream). Does anybody know of a product that that will compress created AVI files?

I think I have a small program that makes animated gifs out of avi's
interested?

I supppose that RayDream has a set of options for the output. There should be a compression seting there...

Put an end to popups!

Morgoth:
There are a few free or demo downloads out there to take ani-gifs and make avi's. They will also deal with a sequence of gif files.
I think that maybe your avi's are so large because your starting with tiff's? If you want to know some software names let me know.

It a bit OF A RED HERRING!. I was using ray dream and it seems to colapse at the end - but still saves the file. I worked out how to compress the avi files so thats OK now. I could post this spite (I need just to test out the attack/death bits) but I haven't done any shadows. Is anybody that interested in shadows ( they go in the right direction until you walk west anyway!).

Dogfish, would like to see your animated sprite. Can you post it to me? Mine was a basic ancient slinger - But having done that one I hope to do a few other basic style models fairly quickly,

Morgoth:
I'm emailing you my cat sprite, tiff's, script, sounds, tga's and avi. Paul is doing the sprites for CD's mod. This is the same cat stuff he'll be sending along to Apolyton... but you'll get some extra time to look it over.

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Did you post me the sprite? It never arrived.
I think I finally finished my slinger now - just need to test it. I really wish the makespr program would tell you which image doesn't have the correct alpha channel set up!

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Morgoth,

I sent you an email on Friday... have you rec'd. it? If not I'll send again.
Makespr diplays something like:
Move[............]
Attack[....
then if it bombs the bad tiff is the 5th in the attack sequence... the dots represent completed (good) tiffs.

Sorry but I never received your sprite. Can you resend please. Where do you see my address to send it? Do you want me to post you my slinger? I was also doing a basic basic (bronze age swordsman).

Once I've tested and checked I'll post to Apolyton but I just want to check out the combat and death scenes.
