Our setup here is 3dstudio v 2.0 on a 486 with 40meg of memory, a Targa+ card and DiaQuest DQ- 232 controller,SONY EVO-9650. David, I saw one of your previous notes and I was wondering if you could posibly help with our similar setup. 3DS's "record-to-VTR" function appears to not be working correctly. This function does not load images into the frame buffer. It does however, control the transport fine. "view" images works just fine. Can use DiaQuest "anitape" to record just fine to tape (only tga images). Can use all of the Targa utilities with no problems. Have set all environment variables correctly. WHen rendering a single fram to tape the tape runs and then the image goes into the frame buffer and appears on the screen. We have been working on this non stop for 2 days. How come I can "view" images on the Targa+ from within 3ds, but I can't send them to tape via the "disk-to-VTR" routines? We sent this note to Gary as well but I was hoping your experience may help. So far we have a lot of money invested in a paperweight. (frustration showing) James Lock for Kipp A. Aldrich Engineering Consultant to: Collision Research Associates (409)693-1651

James, have you tried calling Diaquest. They have very knowledgable tech support over there and may be able to figure out your problem.
