Hi There,
I am having hardware problems with my 24 cpu (MIPS), 37Gb of RAM Onyx2 running Maya 6.5 on IRIX, so I have been messing with an animation I have been working on for the last few days on a vanilla white box AMD64, 4Gb RAM Windows XP Pro64, Maya 2008 (64 bit). I am not used to Windows and I am not used to Maya2008, it seem to work strangely or not at all, I feel like a "noobie"..

I strongly suspect the issue is something with Windows but I have tried changing file systems, directories, permissions, everything I can think of and I consistently get rendering issues with generating AVI files. If I render a single frame to an image format like sgi or png, then I have no problems, but with AVI I get this in mayaRenderLog.txt

CODE
Warning: The post-processing failed while attempting to rename file C:/Albion/Albion/images/AlbionAve.tmp to C:/Albion/Albion/images/AlbionAve.
The operating system reported this error: "No such file or directory".
The problem may be due to improper file permissions, file in use, or a full disk.
The results of post-processing on this image may be incorrect.

I have searched these forums but could not find a combination of search terms to find any other thread close to this problem. There is no spaces in the file paths, all the directories have read/write set, I can't see a problem or I wouldn't be posting..

Any ideas...?

Thanks
