I can't seem to play AVI files converted to Quicktime format with Animator Studio. I'm using the player.exe program with Quicktime for Windows 2.0. On one of my machines, the .mov file causes a General Protection Fault. On another, the .mov appears, but just plays as a white movie. I'm just trying something simple: the bird.avi file. Any ideas?

Try using either Indeo 3.2 or the CinePak codecs. Before saving select settings/compression and choose one of the two compatible codecs. Although with QT 2.0 other codecs should be supported, these two seem to work the best. –Allan
