I strongly suggest you install one of the 1.6 release canditate versions (i.e. 1.5.*, goto: http://www.xcrysden.org/Download.html#__toc__1 ). There the movie-making has been 1000% improved. I strongly believe the problem will disappear in new version? Moreover mpeg_encode is obsolete, it has been replaced by ppmtompeg, although for movie-making in the new version I recommend mencoder (i.e. mplayer's encoder). Regards, Tone -- Anton Kokalj J.
