Yes, with Vue 4, you can have a resolution of 800x600 yet still render to screen at a size of 1024x768 or higher. The downside of rendering to screen is that if there is a problem and things get interrupted, it can't be just resumed. Of course, if the render to disk isn't making it to the disk, the downside of rendering to screen might not be a downside anymore! =:o And Eryk, do you have the patch installed to 4.01? If not, grab that up. There's nothing in it to address this situation specifically, but maybe it will help anyway. Can't hurt. :)
