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?
