Animated texture advice?

[duke2]

I'd like to bring in an animated texture (~200frames, looping, 512x512). Does anyone have any advice on format before I dive into Max with a .mov file and find it crashes when I do a network render or any other lovely problems that may come up?

I've used a folder of .jpg's fine, loaded up as an image sequence within a material - so theres one safe option, at least. Never tried a .mov

Ok cool. So far this uncompressed avi is working just fine but if theres any trouble i'll revert to a jpeg sequence.
