My son has a beautiful animation on his 3000 we would like to transfer to video. The animation is about 70 MB total in 25 files. How to play the segments in sequence with no pauses between sequences? AmigaVision *almost* does it using command sequences like: preload next segment while playing, play next segment, unload last segment and preload the next – etc. – there's a half second pause between segements. I have a Sony VCR with an S-control input. Is there some way I could have AmigaVision (or some other software) use the S-control input to make the VCR pause at the end of a segment and then resume exactly when the next segment starts to play, therebye eliminating the pause. We've tried several animation players but always experience the jerks and slowdowns which comes when memory and disk transfer rate limits are reached. I've seen a dedicated special high speed hard disk animation system which might be able to handle it but it's out of our league at this time. Many thanks for any suggestions. Victor Pierce
