Even after following the guidance above, I still can't see the .avi file in the directory when I look with windows explorer.

Brace yourself. Many bumps lie ahead. The compressor selected was "Cinepak Codec by Radius". I'll change it to "Full Frames Uncompressed" and try that. Thanks.

I am following through the tutorial and I have just finished the first one which results in a short video .avi file. If I select "Play Animation File" in the A:M top toolbar, I can see the video file. It has a small lock in the lower left hand corner which I imagine means it's read only. Anyway, if I select the file, I get an error in the media player. I first tried WMP 12. Then I installed VLC media player and still get an error. The strange thing is if I use windows explorer to navigate to the directory which contains the video file, I don't see the video file listed in the directory. I am getting discouraged since I can't even get past the first tutorial!?!? Please help. Thanks.
