Does a QuickTime utility exist (freeware or shareware) which will take a
movie which is saved in 32-bit color and save a dithered copy of it at a
lower bit-depth?  What I would like to do is to be able to take 32-bit
color animations and save a version that is dithered to, say 8-bit color.
This way the file would be much smaller and, unless I am mistaken the
animation would be smoother.

I am somewhat ignorant on Quicktime, since I have an SE/30 and do not 
really get into HUGE, choppy, dithered animations of 24-bit color scenes.
I would like to make use of this QT, however, if I could create animations in
24-bit color (made up of ray-fired frames or the like) and then convert
them to lower bit-resolutions as needed.
