I've used the Max video post and its difficult to work with and really don't want to start editing again...We're done except for the final render.

Thanks

I have installed QuickTime 7 as suggested, however I still get the same problem using Adobe Premiere 6.0.

Using 3ds Max 8, there is no problem using the DV-NTSC compression.

The alternative I'm going to use is to bring all of the audio and video into Premiere to line everything up, then ouput as a single movie using some method that still looks good (maybe some other compression).

Video post in 3ds max is simple enough just to create an Image input event set to the length of the entire animation and an Image output event set to the DV-NTSC compression for the final Quicktime movie that will be submitted.

Hopefully my plan works.
