>> Probably Greg did the calculation on his Pentium. <G> HA! Good one. I sure miss the days of the Apple IIe where I could just type in ? 752/480 and get the result. Wow, could you _imagine_ 3DS on the IIe? <BG> DM

>>BTW is the aspect Ratio for 752 x 480 .8333 ???? Nope, it's .851 ( (480/752)*1.3333) = .851 I rendered an animation using .871 once and had some weird problems. You might also at .833. Use .851 and you won't have any problems. At least with aspect ratio. <g> DM

Thanks, I thought that NTSC was 1.333 but I wasn't sure. Bye David
