Thanks bruno021.
Now, when you say "output to single frames" do you mean separate files like .jpg or .png files? If yes then where is that setting? I saw the setting for setting the range of frames to output (in my case it is 1 to 2,851) but not separate files. Where is that? I think I'm going to need this feature because Vue is estimating 47 hours to complete my render (720x480 res to avi uncompressed) and I'm already 8 hours into into it so if it bombs I'd like to do separate files if I can.
