Ron, I put together a doc on rendering options that worked for me: http://crazedmuleproductions.blogspot.com/2007/06/beginners-guide-to-exporting-video-from.html
Also in the "docs" section in the right-hand margin of the blog, there is a spreadsheet showing the results of a study I did on the compatibility of Quicktime for Linux output from Cinelerra in specific media players. scott -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Craig Lawson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > This seems to be a common stumbling block.
