Clint, Can you help me with a problem that I defies my abilities to figure when outputting DCTV format files from VistaPro 3.04b. I've been using DCTV for a couple of months now and I keep running into what seems to be an erratic bug when I try to save DCTV images from VP. Often but not alwys the pallet used by VP is changed during the save producing a mottled but unusable image when I try to load into another program. The View image displays perfectly on my composit monitor, and If I use a screen grabber I am able to obtain a usable file. However I am limited when trying to run a script to obtain animation images for DCTV. The only work around that I have been abel to discover for script work is to save DCTV images in IFF24, but then the whole advantage of small fast anims is lost. To bedevil me even more I have a 200 frame DCTV animation produced by a script file in VP that displays perfectly. I have tried every conbination of resolution, bit depth,image size, etc., that I can think of in the graphics panel (always HIRES). What am I missing here? I am running this on an A2000/'030+882FPU-CSADerringer33mhz8MB/2MBchip/4MB16bitFAST/ECS. Any advice you can send my way would be greatly appreciated.
