Glenn, Cool down man ! Don't let yourself confuse by technical details. Simply don't render to 640×480 but to 712×525 (thats for PAL, since I'm from Germany, you should easily get NTSC values if they are not the same) Then render to fields, that does the interlace stuff and put it out. If you want to comprehend the magic behind it, better go to your local library and lend a book on it, it's quite complicated and probably not explicable in a few message lines. For putting 480 to 525 lines, well, how does Animator scale pics *up* ? It's a weird bunch of mathematics and approximation and dithering and so on. And, for my part, I don't want to know HOW it works, but THAT it works. Good luck Michael
