1 prob and 1 weirdness

#1

ok prob first

does anyone have any probs trying to save to avi format?
i can save to mov fine but avi only every renders the first frame then tells me that its nto renedered the whole thing, tried using afew different compressions no difference

ok weirdness

dfx+ is determined i should be online - now it works fine not online but i keep getting that damn pop up box telling me i cant connect etc - this i am concerned about as i cant think of one reason why it should want to be online

is this normal behaviour for dfx+?

You should be able to render to any AVI format as long as the appropriate codecs are installed on your system. However, certain AVI codecs will only allow you to render to materials of certain frame sizes. (Some are limited to dimensions that are multiples of 8 I believe.) What codec are you trying to use specifically? Does this problem occur if you try to render to an Uncompressed AVI?

Concerning the weirdness. DFX+ 4 will check to see if updates to the software have been made available online. If you would like to disable this feature you can do so in the Prefs.

File > Preferences > Globals > General and then uncheck ‘Automatically check for updates’ then hit ‘Save’.

There is an update available (4.02a) I had a similar problem at first. I have since installed the update, and it all seems to work OK now.

Forget my last post, it happened again. OK, when you first click on the saver, a dialoge box (Save as) will open. Make sure you select the AVI file type in the dropdown box, don’t leave it as “All Files .” Then go and edit your output options on the saver node as per normal. You can now render out AVI’s.
