Umm, you have a pre-release verion, don't you? (3.5 doesn't have an FPS
button). You were correct in scaling your frames down to 25 FPS -- it'll
look a little fast on an NTSC machine, but fine on a european maching. in
fact, if you have an AMiga and LW SA, you could switch it into PAL mode an
watch it play back at the right speed. Ain't TV-compatible systems great? :)
I'm guessing that the 25 FPS setting will tell LW to render at 25 FPS -- I
mean, when you hit "render", it'll skip some frames so the animation will
be 25 FPS, or scale it as it renders. Of course, this is only a guess.
Bet JG would know. :)

I've wondered that myself. Best Guess: For places like Ambling where
they shoot in film, but do final output to TV. Kinda strange, though, or
at least kinda cryptic.
> Is there an Abekas driver for NT or the Alpha?
Sorry, I won't have an Alpha for a while...
> Should I use Field render in PAL mode to an Abekas (I
> know PAL does use fields)?
I believe so (educated guess). As far as I know, it'll work fine, since
it has fields.
> Should I reverse fields in PAL mode?
No idea. You'll have to look into if PAL draws Odd then Even, or Even
then Odd fields first. Sorry...
> Should I stay or Should I go?
Noooooo! Don't Gooooo! AAARGH!!!!!! :)
Hope this helps a little...
