I've use XINTERANIMATE and written mpegs no problem. I've also used
Ronn Kling's dlm/dll that works great in IDL 7.

As a quick solution I've simply dumped all my video "frames" to file
and then imported them into Windows Movie Maker to make a quick AVI in
the past.

Thanks everyone!
I got the license updated, and now I have no difficulty in making
mpegs. Still not sure what I was doing wrong with the AVI dll, perhaps
some day I'll go back and figure it out. I was using the one intended
for v5.6, as it's the most recent one I found. If that works for you,
Vince, I must've been doing something daft somewhere along the way.
Regards,
Chris
