Two last points: Quicktime Pro is available for both Mac and Win. Second, when I say that QT will export to lossless image sequence, don't take that to mean that a small, highly compressed web version of Betty Boop will suddenly become a folder of gigantic brilliant frames! Let's put it this way: the frames will be NO WORSE than that which you see in the movie; they may be somewhat better. It depends on how the movie was encoded in the first place. Adobe has a one-month trial version of After Effects, availabe at its website. ::::: Opera :::::
