Animation is not smooth

Hi

I have made and rendered an animation. This is my first try using maxwell. But when i converted slideshow into avi, animation is not smooth. Next camera shot i tried to use camera motion blur. But pictures are too much blury (camera moves slowly) and animation is not smooth anyway. I used HD resolution 1280x720. I converted slideshow into avi using VirtualDub and DivX codec. MXS is eported using Cinema4D.
I know my questions are general but i appreciate every advice:
- What software do you use for convrting pictures to avi?
- How to control camera motion blur?

I would send some sample anim or slideshow if someone offer me help.

Thanks Mira

Quicktime

Faster shutter
high shutter = less motion blur
low shutter = more motion blur


Thanks Mira

I did some test animations recently using Cinema4D/Maxwell, and I used Bink and Smacker for making animation - went out smooth.

BTW, you've mentioned HD video, so be careful with the video's bitrate - this might be a problem, too.
