Are you kidding? If you compress ANY MOVIE in MPEG, H.264, or WMV, you are still going to get artifacts; there is no such thing as perfect rendering. If you want "perfect rendering", you have to use an uncompressed AVI, which takes up a couple hundred MB for a couple seconds of footage. You may want IMGCON for that: http://www.fmrib.ox.ac.uk/~yongyue/imgcon.html BTW, Try looking in the archives for the POV-Ray lists (www.povray.org) -- since their animation features generate a series of still PNGs, this is exactly the kind of utilities that they need. Look in the archives of binary utilities; they're scattered in various odd messages there. If you're looking for transitions or moving still images, I highly suggest you get some movie editing software, such as the Windows Movie Maker bundled with XP, or Pinnacle Studio 9 (http://pinnaclesys.com/). To be honest, GIMP, while it can do these things, it is not necessarily the best or quickest or easiest way to do these things -- I mean, at 30 frames per second, does anyone really have the space to edit each of those frames with a picture editor (even with automated tools)? The most I've ever done in Gimp to date is 90 frames, or 3 seconds...
