<<AVI being huge may be that the last described or default codec being used is the 24-bit completely lossless version. try the same AVI saved using cinepak and see if you get more reasonable sizes. the included hardcopy does explain a bit about codecs, as do the online help references.>> Yeah, I spent some time with the harcopy and on-line references and didn't get much help. Here's what I don't understand: Renderize makes about a 7 MB AVI containing 300 320×240 frames. I did the same thing to a series of JPG files. I read the JPG series into AS and tried to save them as an AVI. I either got a 60 MB monster AVI (that Vid for Win ran great) or a <2 MB AVI that looked like crap. I tried a lot of the CODEC combinations and never did find one that approached the size and quality I got with Renderize. I didn't scientifically go one by one with all the options because that'll take forever. I know I tried the cinepak option altho' I don't remember which side of the scale it was on. When I get some time I'll try more and take notes this time.
