I went to the POVimages folder to open it up, so I must have gone to the
right folder. Furthermore, I checked the properties of clockdemo00 to find
that it is indeed a bmp file. I added .bmp extention to clockdemo00 in the
TMPGEnc Open box, but still I got an "Invalid Video Source" window. I don't
know what to do, now. And browsing is what I did to find the directory.

Also, did you imply that I'm to program TMPGEnc to find the correct
directory and file name rather than program POV-ray to do this?
