Glenn, Sounds like you might be out of swap space. Set your permanent Windows swap to 3x memory and try again. It's a known bug that when you run out of swap space you get that message. Also check that set temp = directory is set to someplace where there is plenty of room. It's not beta software, but it is version 1. We'll get you up and running and we'll make you a happy customer. You certainly can get 3DStudio flics into and out of this program. What will you do with a 640 x 480 AVI file, I'm curious. Most folks I know using AVI are using lower resolutions due to playback constraints. –marK

Mark: What will you do with a 640 x 480 AVI file, I'm curious. Most folks I know using AVI are using lower resolutions due to playback constraints. You are right the playback has jitters, however this is the minimum screen size required to convey the information (to illustrate a machine working). If the animation if played back as a FLC in DOS it is smooooooth, sometimes we leave better systems behind in order to advance neh ? I hear Win-G will help this situation are you using Win-G (MicroSoft) or another system which essentially bypasses Windows GUI and writes directly to VGA mem?

"are you using Win-G (MicroSoft) or another system which essentially bypasses Windows GUI and writes directly to VGA mem?" No, but a good one for the wishlist. This is a plain Windows product.
