thanks a bunch chaps and chapesses, I really do appreciate the advice, (cheers ockham for your scripts, im always using one or the other)........and no lol, i'm not a mac user..

I have been working on an animation for some time and have just been saving all my scenes to render at a later time when i'd resolved the issue......of stills or movie export.

Once again I find myself humbled by wiser, more experienced older users pmsl

 I wish I had a pc that would truly support my rendering wishes,(and like a lot of people I have to bolt on, upgrade what I can, when I can) but my lottery ticket didn't come up again damn,,  until it does I guess I'll just have to remain a well meaning amateur with dreams of grandeur..........

cheers guys :)
