Anims, especially when you're dealing with lots of changes onscreen, are
inherently (sp) slow...or rather, they slow down and jump when things get
complicated.  Aegis did the best they could with the ANIM standard, and there
still isn't anything for real-time animation on any other platform that comes
near it.  Some of the ANIMs I create slow down, and I'm currently working an a
6MB (4MB fast/2MB chip) 25MHz A3000 where the chip-mem is twice as fast as in
an A500/2000!  
 
For optimum playback speed, you need to go to something like PageFlipper
Plus/FX...it'll sustain 60fps in non-interlaced resolutions, and 30fps in
interlaced resolutions.
 
Oh, what black bar (in DVIII) are you refering to???
