Does VirtualDub cause any loss of quality?
We'll post our animation on our website in .WMV or MPEG4 format to reduce the files size (6 - 10 meg) but the AVA rules require all entries to be in QuickTime format and =<250 meg in size.

Kevin there are several posts about this subject, and you can search for them.
But to answer your questions
Yes Any conversion from a lossless codec like WMV to MPEG-4 will cause a loss in quality. Your best bet is to export all of your animation into a DV file, and use that to import into your favorite movie editor (excluding Windows Movie Maker). When you export it, export it at 30fps. I don't see why the previous guy recommended 15fps. Once you finished it in the movie editor then you can export into whatever you want (MOV, WMV, Real, whatever)
