thank you very much, really. but after i type in what's suggested in that earlier post into the command line tools thing, i am getting a message there that says *…is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.*
here's what i'm typing in
cd/dc/mydocuments
and then,
mcp-f1300filename.$F.tiff-o-r1-w320-h240filename.avi
and then i get that message.

now.
at one point i succeeded in getting 300 tiff frames into a folder, but it consisted of all black frames with only the first frame recorded right.
(so i actually have another problem with animations besides the fact that i can't get an avi).
and this only happened once. now i'm only getting the first frame as a tiff file into a folder. so that might be the reason why i'm getting a weird message.
sorry to bother you again, but a little more help will be deeply appreciated.

p.s. i don't know if this matters, but i have the apprentice version.

hi all, i have a dumb question to ask, how do you get avi's out of houdini?
i am new, and i'd appreciate as much detail as possible if at all possible. please help.
thanks
