I've been getting reports--John Broccio's article today is
only the latest--of poor resolution when making MPEG movies.
I don't know what to make of it. I thought I might check with
the folks at RSI and see what I can find out. But in light of
what I have been hearing, I'd be thinking about JPEG, probably.
