Funny. Looks like SuperMac has discovered roughly the same algorithm as
used in Digitals Software Motion Pictures compression algorithm. The bit rates
and sizes are all too familiar to me as well as the compression effort.

It takes about 1.3 seconds to compress a 384*288 frame with Software
Motion Pictures on a 25 Mhz MIPS R3000, so that's roughly in line with
the 45 seconds of the LC given the speed difference between the CPU's.

So welcome to the world of good compression, QuickTime users !
