hmmmm.....

this is a shot in the dark, last year we rendered un-compressed frames in Max. Then we went in an compressed them in premiere using the codec specifications we did last year. I think that you are running into problems b/c it has to compress twice. Have you rendered to still shots from max? If you do that output to a tiff (best quality). That is the only possible thing that I think could help you.

if u have to email autodesk put EMERGENCY in the title. They usually respond a little faster. Otherwise it will take 3-5 weeks to get a straight answer.
