      I am suddenly unable to export animation from SU (with scenes setup in tabs). I get "The codec is incompatible with the video size you selected" or "Unable to create avi file".

      I tried different sizes and get the same message. There are NO codecs available, so it is set to Full Frames. However I used to have a choice of codecs. (Where'd they go? How do I get them back?)

      This problem just started. I do not know why. I can't find much help text written about codecs. Does anyone know about codec and animation export?

      I am thinking of reinstalling SU! To repair a SU setup, do you just download and install SU Pro Trial from the Trimble site?

        😞 I uninstalled SU, reinstalled Pro 8, and tried again. Same problem. No codecs in the list. When I try to render full frames, it downright refuses! Totally uncooperative!

        Oh dear, what to do?

                Win XP

                The profile should have a place for that!

                  Hi Joel !
                  If I am not mistaken you might miss some video codecs .
                  Try to download and install a video codec pack and see if it works.
                  The video codecs help in creating the avi video and compression stuff.

                  Hope it helps !

                    I think the codec options are based on what is installed on your computer. Have you tried downloading any codecs?

                      But where did all my installed codecs go? Last I checked, there were about 8.

                      I downloaded and installed the Classic Windows Codec Pack from Cnet (who I trust) and tried another export. Same problem! Still no codecs show up in the dialog.
