I tried your series2avi.exe.
Its nice. I like it.
Two things though. (The second one is a bit petty)
1.) I couldn't get the MS RLE option to work. Is it me?
2.) Since some formats take longer that others, some sort of status
indicator would be nice. Maybe just change the cursor so it doesn't seem
as though the prog has stopped.

I just figured all that stuff out last night so the options are a little
weak at this time.
I will be adding other formats, progress indicators and messages in the
coming
days.

RLE only works on 8 bit (256 color) images or less.  Which since most
people will be using the standard tga output for POV (24 bit tga) wont be
a big deal at this time.

If you have the cinepak codec, which I believe comes with active movie,
it is the best one to use and crank it down to about 60%. Intel indeo makes
the images too fuzzy but if that is all you have then use that. If people
could
use this and tell me what codecs show up for them it would be appreciated
so that I can find out what is standard.

These are the ones I believe everyone has:

Uncompressed
Microsoft video
Microsoft RLE
Cinepak
Intel Indeo R.32
Intel Indeo Video Interactive



I will be adding quicktime support also.

Thanks for looking at it.
