What kind of computer? 486s? P-IIIs? The latest and greatest? From what era? The thousand years estimate does seem a little like something somebody pulled out of their ass.

I can encode a 3d animation sequence of about 3:00 (1280x768 @ 42 FPS, 3ds MAX) of 200 32x32 cb cubes switching colors, with dynamic particle shading (4 sources), and flying around in a random order in 4 minutes. My setup is as follows Intel Core 2 Quadro x2 (2.66 ghz, overclocked to 2.86 ghz) 8 gb 1024 mhz RAM (240 pin DDR2) 2x NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 2x NVIDIA 8800 GTX (DiabloTek) both in SLI 680, PCI-E (electrical) given the sound requirements, and texture bitmapping/trihexagonal shadowing of the movie, it could be done with a dedicated machine in a few years (3 at tops) Not sure how you did the math.
