I moved this thread from the NewTek forum over to hear. Peter, thanks for
getting me going. I finally got to page 172 in the Imagine manual and found
out that I had to click on the "NEW" button in the project editor window to get
to the output choices. Ohmygawd. How in the world do these guys stay in
business? Anyway, I got my PC version of Imagine today and now I am cooking on
both the Amiga 3000 and my clone 486-33. The clone is a bit faster. Is your
plan to generate sequences of 24 bit ILBM files on the PC and then null modem
them to the Amiga for compiling as DCTV anims? The PC version is uncannily
close to the Amiga version. You can't use any DOS6's EMM386.EXE. I find I
have no problem just rem-ing that line from my start up sequence. I notice on
the Amiga version that when I call up DCTV as the output format in full
overscan (736×482) that things really slow down quite a bit. I wonder if it
makes more sense to generate a 24 bit ILBM and then convert it with DCTV
itself? Is the Imagine movie version worth rendering in? Is it any better than
a DCTV 4 bit anim in anim7 format?
