i´d like to know how you could build a quicktime via maxscript. i saw the quickpreview how-to script in help and it works with avi. it just seems to append frames. with quicktime it doesn´t seem to work that way. the quicktime is only containing the last frame. i´m using getviewportdip() and render() to get the frames.
thanks for your help.

thanks for the link. i also saw that thread but i was wondering what would be the direct way to render into quicktime. if there is none i´ll have to use the workaround, although i guess quicktime pro will be required for conversions.

I guess the difference is:
AVI is supported by windows by default in somhow a build-in feature into directx.
Hence its 'easy' to support it via maxscript.
Though quicktime is required to install max its not that accessible via standard methods from the api. its a third party product anyways.
