LightWave crashes When Rendering NT_AVI - Scene has Lens Flares

Product: Lightwave Revs: 4.0 5.0

Platforms: Intel

Problem: One issue that can arise in both 4.0 and 5.0 is crashing when using the NT_AVI plugin to render scenes which have lens flares. The source of this problem seems to be the 16-bit versions of the AVI codec drivers. These are not needed and the user can edit the "system.ini" file to REM out these driver lines, which begin with "VIDC", by simply placing a semi-colon at the beginning of each of the three lines. These codec driver lines are found in the [drivers] section. The entries in the [drivers32] section must be left alone.

Here is the relevant section of the [drivers] section, as it should look after you edit it:

VIDC.IV32=ir32.dll
;VIDC.IV31=ir32.dll
;VIDC.RT21=ir21.dll
;VIDC.YVU9=iyvu9.dll
VIDC.MSVC=msvidc.drv
VIDC.MRLE=MSRLE.drv
VIDC.AASC=AASC.drv
VIDC.AFLC=flccodec.drv
VIDC.AFLI=flccodec.drv
