As far as the Animation, I haven't looked at that section of the manual, but if they are indeed disallowing it, it is most likely due to the fact that they are trying to get a somewhat common format so they can create their compilation video of all the animations to give out next year...

Also, I remember reading somewhere that currently, about 99% of DVD burners currently on the market do not burn into a format that home DVD players support.

wow sir, yer right

i think that thier goal is to have all the animations as AVI's so they can make a compolation cd. without vidcap. also the conversion from comp to tape to tape really screwed alot of things up.

luckly, here at work, i can use a professional master burner, w00t! so compatibility is not the prob. but you did make a good point. thanks for clearing that up. we are gonna do the dvd anyway, but not send it, it wouldnt get looked at! but man, for getting sponsors next year, a professional level dvd would rock.
