: I suspect this is because the ZIP format compresses files individually, and more compression can be squeezed out of BMPs that are all in the same file rather than split.

How about the maximum compression option? Does it see any difference between individual bmp's and dir.ff?

: Also, the reason why the screen doesn't flash when you use FFCreate2 is if you preload (or use) one seq in the dir.ff file, it will load all of the sequences in the dir.ff file into memory.

If what you said is the truth, then it seems to me that PC's with less memory might have trouble if you squeeze a lot of bmp's into one single dir.ff. Or I completely miss the point...
