Hello all, I am trying to export an animation created with Mathematica to Powerpoint. If I export it as an animated GIF file, and subsequently import this file into Powerpoint, I only see the first frame of the animation but not the animation itself during the slide show. Likewise, if I view the animation with another graphics viewer (Irfanview) the frame rate seems to have been significantly increased compared to the Mathematica animation, making me wonder if perhaps animated GIFS depend on the CPU clock rate instead of real time... Anyway, is it therefore possible to export Mathematica animations to other formats, such as AVI or MPG, which are also easier to handle in programs such as Powerpoint because of their easier start/stop options and their more reliable (i.e. computer independent) frame rate? Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Dennis
