VFD.ZIP (I think in the utilities section) is an .AVI-.FLC cross-compiler. Hope that helps Michael

Adobe Premiere could solve your problem. It can convert FLIs, TGA-,BMP-Sequences (like produced by 3DS) to AVI. Using TGA (TrueColour) will lead to a better quality than first making a FLI and than converting to AVI. It also allows a lot of transitionfunktions between several AVIs, filterfunktions und three audiochannels to mix. It is – of course – not the cheapest solution of your problem… Greetings!

We have a program called RAZOR which can convert FLI to AVI and back again if necessary. Jamie Carr in:sync

But the problem with FLIs is that they have limited colours! If you want to create AVIs at higher quality you'll have to make them out of several truecoloured bitmaps. Agree? Greetings!
