If you use the correct compression settings, this video could look quite sharp even in a small AVI/MOV window. Much of the video, as I recall, is heavily pixilated like the album cover. There is a particular compression codec designed for animating computer graphics (i forget what it's called) which preserves large regions of color without dithering them. Whoever makes the AVI/MOV for this, they should consider this. The video could look as clean and sharp as it does on TV even if it is reduced to 200x180 pixels or even less. -CF
