with the exception of very short movies (~30 frames), I can't get Poser to finish an AVI, though it used to just a couple of days ago. Now it progress steadily through each of the 200 frames in the status bar, but then just stops and stays on the final frame until I ctrl+alt+del... AGAIN! I uninstalled/reinstalled Poser and PPP. I adjusted my virtual memory. I tried a few different codecs, all with the same end result (none). I tried picture sequence and about half way through I got a message saying something like 'disc full', but it's not. Argh! I'm frustrated! Any ideas? much appreciated, K
