Why try and use the mpeg video characters? Either use a real girl or use a Poser Character.
To me, the mpeg loses in terms of quality, compared to the other options I mentioned (a real female or a nicely done 3D render).

...eliminating Hal and graphics characters altogether
Oops, I think I missed where you said that last part in your first message -- VirtualFem does not use Hal, or characters like Hal, and in fact has nothing to do with it. Remember, I only came to this forum to answer questions about our software. I didn't start this thread.
If you render a movie with poser, or if you record it with a real model and a $15,000 video camera, you still are going to end up with needing to put it on the users machine in a playable format... You know, like AVI (with some codec), quicktime MOV, Windows formats (WMV, etc) -- or MPEG.
DVD uses MPEG2 at 4000 kbits/sec. VCD uses MPEG1 at 1125 kbits/sec. We use MPEG1 at 2000 kbits/sec. It is great looking video.
The thing to remember here is that VirtualFem is designed as a programming language. It is very easy to create your own custom VirtualFem, and you could render and add poser movies of your favorite characters from Renderosity or Renderotica to yout heart's content. You could continue adding stuff to basically the limit of your hard drive capacity. The system itself is ultra-scaleable like that. [8D]
We do a lot of brain storming with our users and we have voting on development direction by our members.
And thanks for the apology to Emily... We try to get girls that look like a pretty girlfriend, or have that girl-next-door look.
