You then need to combine these images to create a movie that you and others can play back on a computer. Almost all computer-generated movie formats use a compression algorithm. The MPEG-1 standard is one movie format that supports a very good compression scheme. Others possible formats are Apple's QuickTime , and Microsoft's AVI . When you decide to make your movie, be prepared to spend more time on creating the movie than you first thought or you would like to.
Movie making is an art.
There is no cookbook that will tell you exactly what you need to do to create your perfect movie. Factors that contribute to the problem is that the final movie size may be the most important factor to one user, another user is more interested in the highest-quality image, and yet another is interested in portability. This page is not a course on creating videos nor are we experts in this area. If you are interested in learning more about video and various standards like MPEG, check out the web and books and magazines on video, it's creation, and deployment. Most movie creation programs do a poor job of changing size, especially the PC programs we tried.
