Hi Mark,
You can run VMware free server on your Vista machine and run a virtual
XP environment to do the avi creating. If you are not familiar, VMware
is like MS Virtual PC, but gives you access to more features. I have
not used the free server version, but I use VMware workstation at work
and Virtual PC (also free from MS). Note that VMware does not
officially support 64bit Vista.

Hi list,
What happened to this useful little (buggy) V3 tool that allowed us to
convert separate frames into AVIs? Something with this functionality
is no longer included in the RS toolkit since V4 (correct me if I'm
wrong). I never render to AVIs directly, always separate frames.
To complicate things more: I can't install the old V3 on Vista. A
pity, I hope Deltaconvert will be another useful feature from the V3
days that will be re-introduced, like Morphing and even some V7
features. Maybe it has to to do with licensing problems?
For now, I have to switch on my noisy XP computer and do the
conversions on that one.
Of course there are other solutions, but I started searching a bit for
legal alternatives... FFmpeg appears to be powerful, but you have to
compile the source code yourself! I haven't compiled anything since
the Amiga days...
Any tips for freeware conversion tools?
TIA,
