I have a flc brought into aap but will only come in at 320×200. I want to output to tape but my Targa+64 has only 640×480 Livevideo output screen setting in the extras menu. Is ther another driver for this?

TARGAN.ZIP is the only driver we have in this forum for using the Targa card with Animator Pro. You will get 512×480-ish resolution but not the 320×200 of your animation. I'm not familiar with a 320×200 driver for the Targa, although there are folks who use the Magni VGA Producer at 320×200 output to video, so there might be ways to get your animaition output at 320×200. If you don't mind a blank space surrounding your animation, you could do this: Count the number of frames in your animation. Create a blank 512×480 (or 640×480) flic with the same number of frames. Flic/Composite, Overlay opaque, Use Incoming Colors. This will also allow you to position the flic where you like. If that doesn't suit, you could increase the size of the 320×200 flic to 640×400 (with a bit of a border on the 400 side). Nik

Thanks for the info on the 320×200 flc. I found it converted in aniconv.exe to 640×480 and is now outputting thru my Targa+ with no problems, don't know why i didn't think of that in the 1st place. Rick
