I've WL> used many different PD programs such as Showanim, TIV, and a couple a I use VIEW 2.0. I can display MOST DCTV anims at 30 FPS on my 25Mz A2500/30. However, there are a couple of catches (aren't there always?) If the ANIM has a LOT of movement from one frame to another, you will get slower throughput if they are compressed. If you have such an ANIM it would be better to have it uncompressed (if you've got the memory for it that is...). Most of the ANIMS I have produced have worked fine at 30 fps using standard delta compression of the frames.
