The 3.9 software only supports the AGA-style anim format rendering. This will
be fixed with the full 4.0 release.
>Please be more specific if Lightwave 3.9 is writing off a ham-style anim
There is no LW 3.9. The 3.9 systems are being shipped with LW 3.5.
That's why they don't have 24-bit anim recording in there yet.

Actually, I rendered the same animations to both our PAR and the Flyer, and the
quality is quite comparable. The Flyer resolution looks better, and it plays
back more smoothly. While the overall quality of the PAR output is with less
bandwidth, it shows a little less banding with a gradient background than the
LW 3.5 anim files do. I'd gladly trade that off for the ease of dropping an
anim clip into a project, and have the music/audio so easily synced, and
matched into the surrounding video. Yes, I'm eagerly looking to the 4.0
release, so I can get the 4.0 Lightwave, and render 24-bit video clips instead.
>I am under the impression that Tpaint 4.0 is planned to have the ability

TPaint 3.9 already loads directly from Flyer video clips. Pop-up menus (not
finished yet) allow for AREXX batch-processing of the clips or individual
frames from a clip.
>Rendering straight to VTASC would be the cleanest path
It'll get there, perhaps even before the 4.0 release. There's another update
CD-ROM going out to registerd beta-testers and 3.9 customers within another
week or so...
