Hi, it sounds lime you're having problems with Windows & Powerpoint, not Chimera... can you play the movie correctly with media player or VLC? Do you have all the video codecs installed correctly? Did you check the Chimera temp directory to see whether the frames have been created? hope this helps. Sacha ------------------------------------------ Sacha De Carlo, Asst.
