>> When converting FLC to AVI with MSRLE compression, set the quality to 100%, turn off the Data Rate check. If your animation has many redundant frames, or small interframe changes, you should set the keyframes entry higher.
>> I am not familiar with any of these products. I would appreciate it if you could send me more information on these and other relevant products.

>> Can anybody help me point out that Animator Pro is worth buying. What does it offer to .FLC files that 3DS can't do. Unfornatually I don't have the original project files to these animations.
>> I can import my FLC's in AAS just fine. When I want to save them as MS RLE, they completely braek up and look like rubbish. In fact, the only codecs that seem to work well are the Autodesk ones, and these are completely unsuitable for playback. hi. :)…

>> So, wuddaya-sayin, I need more ram??
>> Should I call them "animated tileable maps"? Or, is there a better name (and spelling)?
>> Dave could you list these please?

>> We are using 3d studio and animator pro to create FLC files to use with a CD rom project. We have been converting these to AVI files when we have to sync audio to them. Is there any way to link audio to a flc file?
>> Do you know any way to take a Autodesk flic-file (or maybe avi file) and create a windows screen saver from it, to be able to make a Macintosh screen saver would also be useful.

>> Ok, if the problem can only be solved within of Animator Pro then I have to "catch" some of the messages being processed by player's window procedure. I had a similar problem a year ago with Multimedia Viewer 2.0 (Microsoft) and solved it with subclassing of the window.
>> I gave up on win3.11. I reformated and everything but to no avail. AAS 1.1 seems to run will under win95. Let's hope it stays that way.
>> What is section 10 and what does it relate to?

>> I have read your answer about the AAPLAYHI update for AAPLAY. I am expiriencing terrible problems with pallettes with 256-color drivers (VGA). With 16 colors is everything OK. Is there any secure way to set the pallette of the FLC file to be the same as pallette in one…
