Hi,

I am using tachyon to get high quality still pictures by generating a .dat file, changing the render numbers and then typing this command in the window

"N:/myhome/VMD1.8.7/tachyon_WIN32.exe" -aasamples 12 plot01.dat -format -o plot01.tga

This gives great images but now I am stuck on generating movies as I don?t seem to have much choice when using the movie-maker and am clueless at scripting. I need a movie file in .mpg or .avi for submission to a journal (and not bigger than 10MB).

Whenever I choose tachyon as the renderer within the movie maker I get frames generated in .dat which I can?t do anything with and when I use tachyon internal the files are automatically written in .bmp. I can?t seem to get my frames in targa or any format other than .bmp.

Is there a script command which could give me high quality snapshots in .tga?

If I continue with my frames in .bmp and generate a movie in videomach the image quality is very poor (I do this via preview movie and select the highest quality (fast 400x400). TO avoid this I have been using convert in unix to stick frames together but this won't give me a mpg or avi file!

Can anyone give me some advice or a script line similar to the one above which would work on a whole trajectory rather than a single frame?.

Thanks

Jenny
