Not sure I totally understand. I get the looping .gif RT--no problem. I'm missing it though on the resolution issue. Is it that the gif looks good normally, but when you run it through DirectRT, it doesn't look as good? e.g., it gets smaller, bigger, distorted or some such? If so (and again I'm just guessing), are you running the session in the same screen resolution in which you normally view the gif? i.e., as defined in the styles (.drt) file? If that's not what you mean, please feel free to elaborate or even attach an input file and sample gif.
