Thanks for the replies, guys. Much appreciated. I have rendered the
animation in an uncompressed form, then compressed it with a DV codec and
fire-wired it straight to mini-DV tape. When I play this back onto the TV
the quality is much better than before. Great result :)  I have since
learned that my video card (NVIDIA GeForce4 440 Go) has a hardware MPEG
decoder, so I guess that's why DVD's look good straight out of the TV-out
on my laptop. Maybe playing avi files is a little less advisable.

I rendered the animation without interlacing, but it occurs to me that
rendering fields gives 50 images per second instead of only 25, so surely
motion would be smoother. Can anyone confirm or contradict this in light of
their experience?

Thanks again,
Simes (:-)
