I've just gotten a query on animation files and MCI and could use some
net.wisdom.  The end goal is to show animations and "movies" sing MCI
calls.

First, what are the current standards for animation files? I know that
MacroMind Director and Autodesk Animator seem to be the chieftools, but
are there others?  What about the animation files that are/were used in
the MS Multimedia Developers Kit under Windows 3.; are they still
around?  Are there others that I don't know about?

Second, how does this relate to QuickTime for Windows and Video for
Windows?  Are there utilities within those packages that show orconvert
animations?  

Third, there is an MCI animation and movie player command set.  How does
this relate to the animations mentioned above?  Are there MI drivers
available for each of these products? 

Is there an FAQ that I should be reading to find this stuff out?

Thanks for your help!
