Hello, I would like to ask what settings is best for converting FLI/FLC to AVI by VFW 1.1 ? I need to play back in CD-ROM. Thanks. Regds LAM Chi-fung

There are a number of way to convert from FLC to AVI. You would need to tell us what program you are using or what method you are using to convert the file before we could give you advice. -Brian

Hello Brian, I am now using Video for Windows 1.1 's AVI edit to convert FLI/FLC to AVI. Thanks. Regds LAM Chi-fung P.S. Eventually, local Autodesk confirm that they can sell me the animation SDK.

Hello Brian, I'm also interested in how to do this. I want to convert fli/flc so that I can use them with the Movie Machine from ///FAST. It would also be handy to go the other way, to convert avi's to fli/flc's. Can you offer any suggestions as to how this could be accomplished? George Plhak, FastForward Media, Toronto.

<<I want to convert fli/flc so that I can use them with the Movie Machine from ///FAST.

In a nutshell, direct conversion from AVI to FLC is scarce. Use a utility like CVTAVI to go from AVI to a series of TGA files, and then NUMPIC or a utility like DTA to go from the series of TGA files into FLC. That is the way to do it. -Brian

Brian, Did you mention in your article that RAZOR for Windows can convert FLC/FLI files to AVI and can convert AVI files to FLC and FLI. We can also convert sequences of TGA files to AVI and AVI to sequences of TGA files. RAZOR is $99.00 from in:sync corporation (301) 831 5008 We have a new product arriving soon which works with the PAR. It is called RAZOR PRO and directly supports the ANI format as well as the TARGA 2000's DVM format. It should be available in four weeks. It features more effects and transtions than the low end version as well as the ability to composite images which are 720 x 486 and above. We have been able to load minutes worth of images from the PAR in three seconds – and editing is extremely easy. For more info see the ad in the 3D Studio release 4 box or contact me here. RAZOR PRO is $799.00 also from in:sync corporation (301) 831 5008 Jamie Carr in:sync
