Hi Guys,

Im using 4.5 Unlimited. Whenever I go to batch render a scene I get....

// Error: File contains unknown nodes or data. To preserve this information, the current file type cannot be changed. //

This IS FREAKING KILLING ME!!!!!!!! I'm just stuck now....dead in the water.....any ideas????

Did you update from an older version? Delete user prefs! Maya takes the old plugin registrations.
Run optimize for rendering (or similar) from the menue.
Mixed up something with MR? Choose the right render engine.
All bitmap textures in RGB(A) - even greyscales!
Best rendered formats: IFF or TGA
Rendering subD in vers3 will not work - convert to poly.
Bake expression driven channels and cache dynamics (disk!).
Delete history whereever possible!

Thanks for the advice, I used smege 2.0 (a batch renderer) to render....that bypasses all of the issues and gives me what I need....an image!!!!
