chris, that's good to know. i had reverted back to 3.1 after trying 3.2 because some other things failed, like the h.264 or the AGDV--i can't remember which right now. plus, the installation instructions weren't clear (only installed the AG stuff, not the supporting python stuff???). anyway, to get everything back working again, i simply reverted to 3.1.
i'll try 3.2 again and see what breaks. btw, i'm talking about windows here. thanks, -gurcharan Christoph Willing wrote: > > On 03/11/2008, at 10:15 AM, Gurcharan S.
