 Dear Jindroush,
 
 Jeroen has given a good explanation why the window flickers. I have now
 exchanged the LGEO code for the part within the pov-file against standard coding
 without LGEO and that problem is solved.
 
 Since radiosity slows down the render speed veeeeery much, I do most of my
 renderings without, even for none animated pictures.
 
 Rendering time was now between 2 and 4 minutes per picture and in the meantime I
 rendered thousands of pictures with different camera movements and tests
 regarding anti alias and different lights. So radiosity is no good option for a
 model with 1500+ parts like here.
 
 The quality is suffering under the movie compression anyway: the 110 pictures
 have a size of 27 MB in total, but the movie has only 1.5 MB.
 
 The best way to watch my animation is to use Irfan View and look through the
 picture gallery. My computer is even faster that way: the movie maker allows not
 more than 8 pictures per second, while irfan flips the pictures faster than that
 (and without compression due to png-file format). Of course the compression of
 the movie is needed for the internet exchange: you would surly not want to
 download 110 pictures for a few seconds of moving pistons....
 
 Leg Godt!
 
 Ben
