<<As I recall, the Video for Windows 1.x (VFW) developers toolkit, contains a viewer/editor which can read in AVIs and FLCs and BMPs etc. and spits out AVI files. I seem to remember trying it on one of my FLI/FLCs and being shocked by that "blocky" pixelation effect, maybe it's better nowadays.>> A lot of people have complained that reading in an FLC directly and getting an AVI file produced a poor looking file. Better results were obtained by taking the FLC file and converting it to a series of TGA files, and then importing the series of TGA files into VidEdit. Also, if you are rendering from 3D Studio, you can skip the FLC portion entirely. Render straight to TGA's and import them into VidEdit or some other AVI making utility. -Brian
