hey thanks man! and thanks a lot for the help, great stuff.
oh god yes, that was most of the work, moving layers across a certain amount of pixels every frame. i listened to hours of podcasts and audiobooks just doing that!
I might do another, with the loop starting when the character enters a room and ending when he exits. something a bit more sinister..

doesnt 1920/320 = 6? My intention was a 16:9 aspect ratio when i started it.
well irfanview did the trick nicely thanks very much!! the vdub result is much better too. its a big file though, 684 MB! was going to upload it to youtube for you, which is something of a first for me!

I dont know what the filesize limitations are on youtube but maybe i could do a 1920 x 1080 one

hmm i cant see Full Frames (uncompressed) now, i was on a different machine running a different OS though, maybe using an older version of vdub as well? I just downloaded vdub on this machine, It is Uncompressed RGB/YCbCr for me too.
I just made a video with it again, it looks passable when its at its native resolution 320 x 180 on my 1920 x 1080 screen, it looks terrible when you full screen it or even just 200% the video in windows media player. i tried it on vlc player on my last attempt at this and the same problem though maybe i should try it again.
to answer your other question if i load this video i just made back into virtual dub it looks fine, but its so tiny its hard to tell if there is any problems with the video at its native resolution. as soon as you resize the window in vdub that blurriness becomes apparent but could just be the program.
as a side note i just downloaded a free batch image converter to convert all the frames to a higher resolution (1280 x 720 for a laugh!) and they all came out blurry too. could just be the program though, what do you use?

So i decided to animate this guy breathing just for the sake of it, and then i realised the left hand (our left) seemed a bit weird. So ive been redrawing it in a few different ways, stubby fingers sharper fingers, balled up and hanging loose, any thoughts fellas?

thanks for the responses guys, and wow thanks for the offer to turn it into a movie for me tim, but i would like to do it myself so i have that knowledge. i dont have after effects but i think i have access to something similar by adobe at college ill check it out.
Ive tried vdub before kasumi, great program and it gave the framerate i needed. the avi compression makes it look blurry even when selecting the Full Frames (uncompressed) option though? particularly if you full screen it, which i want to be able to do. i posted on the vdub forums and the response i got was that the codecs supported by vdub arent good for lineart. A friend suggested using quicktime as he thinks movs would be good for it, ive tried the old adobe program imageready so i could output as mov but it wouldnt let me control framerate how i wanted to.
of course i would post it for you mate, i wouldnt get too excited though its not great, just a scrolling game mockup that loops every 1000 frames. it was my first attempt at pixel art so its not great but i had fun doing it!!
