David, > (AVI / Window 426×341 / Full frames) are absolutely ENORMOUS! Simple math shows that 426*341 at 24 bit * 30 frames per second works out to 13,073,940 bytes per second…. yes, it gets big fast. AVI's need to be compressed, to save space. If you don't plan on any post-render modifications, select a CODEC (compressor/decompressor) scheme when saving your animation. CinePak, Indeo, RLE and Viedo 1 are the most common, and are available on your system if you installed the 4th disk of trueSpace. CODEC's compress the AVI up to a max of about 2% of original size. Your mileage may vary, but it depends on image size, numbers of frames per second, color depth, and quality desired. Regards, Ian Diversions Software
