>> I just received aas1.1. The output avi files do not show up in Razor Pro only in the player mode. Why??? in:sync states that they adhere to strict avi specs and that it is a problem with aas1.1 not sticking strictly to Microsoft's specs. << woh. hold the phone, clif. Microsoft's AVI spec? <g> no such beast. AVI's have had several schemes for years, depending on the CODEC being used. AAS handles several popular formats including some of MS's own (read they have several). there is no single "standard AVI format". you may wish to read up on CODECs in the AAS hardcopy. most save as "AVI". 🙂 >> My original aas1.0 showed up fine. We seem to be going down hill here, not up. AAS1.1 is faster though. Atleast something is working. Any ideas about the avi??? Razor suggests that I save out in tga files but that is a lot of hd space and avi is ok for my purposes. << saving out to a series is a safe bet. in this way, AAS can assemble the series into a workable AVI format it supports. keep in mind that TGA files also are not "standard"… there are several types including associative and non-associative alpha schemes. -dave
