Alan,
It crashes right after you select where to save the file and what format. If you choose avi or don’t choose anything (leaving it at “all supported formats”) , it hangs for a bit, then gives you:
particleIllusion has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Only does this on avi (at least for me) I can still render in other formats..
Thanks for the help!
Bryan
