We were planning on doing this on Saturday but did it Sunday. Combustion was adding one white frame to the end of our animation - even though everything was black. Drove us crazy! We finally fixed in Quicktime Pro. Anyway, if we ran into that problem in the last hour before the deadline, we would have been hosed.

See, we were nearly ready to submit Sunday (after MANY program crashes) and then we realized we needed .mov... so we spent two days trying to convince 3ds max to render properly in .mov. And so we finally fixed it Wednesday at about 4:30 PST (6:30 CST) and we tried to submit it.
