I am having some sort of problem with VideoMach. I can't see but half of the
frames in this animation. It seems to process all 36, but only ends up with
about 12. At least it seems that way to me. Does anyone see a full orbit?

With QuickTime Player and QuickTime 4.0, I see a full orbit with 36 
frames.

I've run into this problem a few times and I've seen it happen to a couple
other people.  Most likely the encoding bitrate is too high; the only thing
that's moving is the orbitter. I'd say use half the bitrate and see if you
see the same thing. It may work, but if it still fails use half of that, or
if it gets crappy go halfway back up. It's all trial and error.

    Hmmm... I've tried 4 players with no better success. I will see where my
QT is and try it. But I can't figure out why it stopped working. I did half
a dozen tests that worked and then changed the turbulence on the glow and it
stopped working...

    Maybe this is one of those hypothetical Windoze problems.

nope, just the same half you do

    This seem to be a solution. By forcibly lowering the bitrate to 400/sec
I got to see the whole thing. But this is unacceptable. I have dozens of
mpgs made with Videomach that didn't have this problem.

    What bothers me is that the information seems to be in the file. I was
not able to find a way in QT to actually run a mpg, but if Chris got it to
play the whole thing, that means that it is the playing of the file that
fails, not the creation.

Or simply that QuickTime is more tolerant of errors in the file than 
other software.

    I think it is the second half of this statement that is the crux. I mad
a few more objects and it seems to work much better without dropping the
bitrate.

With two different versions of windows media player I don't see the full
rotation.

Fer some reason QT4 doesn't want to open mpgs on my machine.... damn and blast.
