When You use Moray to start a render, it writes a POV File and an INI-file
for POV.
When You instruct MORAY to make POV to generate TGA files, then INI Settings
are so that it writes TGA files with alpha-channel information. Some Progs
dont like TGAs with Alpha-channel, esp. CMPEG will refuse to work with these
images. You have to comment out the apropriate line in the INI-file:
;Output_Alpha=On
or set it to OFF.

At last, the TGAs are of course NOT corupted. They have aditional
information contained in them, and some Progs refuse to work with them.
Anyways, when one doesnt use alpha-channels, this is simply waste of
disk-space.

greetings, Mathias
