Well, good you said that, program crashing problem will likely get fixed 
then. heh-heh

However, since initial frame of zero is unavailable, this must mean 
something was changed. I had mostly used that as the starting number for 
mpeg creation by running a batch file which accepts a number of digits at 
the end of a file name, anim000 for example, and counts up from there. It 
can be worked around, of course. Makes me wonder, though, why it must be 1 
and not 0 anymore. Was there a special reason involved or was it about ways 
people expect counting to begin?
