Thank for you answer to my problem. But perhaps I wasn't quite clear in
expressing my situation.

        I run my "fly-by" application two times:
                - the first is run at 10 fps (locked) and the only thing I do each frame
is writing a line in a text file stating my coordinates (position and
orientation) at the given frame.
                - the second time I run it I read the text file and position myself in
the first coordinate, save the resulting image and then read the next
line... In this case I don't need to maintain any given frame rate,
because my path coordinates are already stated in the file.

        The problem is that my coordinates are saved irregularly in the file,
which prevents the resulting animation from beeing smooth.

                Things vary quite a bit when I change the PFPHASE option, but no
combination of FREE_RUN or LOCK has yet worked fine.

                        Thank you very much
