I'm geting closer to the launch of the new A:M films PHP CLI missing (/usr/local/bin/php) MEncoder missing (/usr/local/bin/mencoder) MPlayer missing (/usr/local/bin/mplayer) FFMpeg found (/usr/local/bin/ffmpeg) FLVTool2 found (/usr/bin/flvtool2) Only a few modules missing. We paid for them to install the modules but they have not. I have an email into them and I hope that it gets done soon. Then a few days of load testing and we should be up and running. I have been trying to work through the missing modules but they seem to install right then the program can't find them. I will let you guys know.

The older installers are: ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/updates/windows/old/ (Windows) ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/updates/osx/old/ (Mac)

For anyone that wants to do this, here is a link to a pdf copy of both books. ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/docs/TAOAM.pdf (Manual) ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/docs/TECHREF.pdf (Technical Reference) And it was a 'Make Cool Robot Button'

go to c:\program files\hash inc\v15.0\ and find master.exe [right click] properties go to the compatibility tab and check Disable Visual Themes and Disable Desktop Composition and that will help. but the white box is most likely due to video ram. Open A:M go to Tools > Options > Global Tap and change your real time drivers to direct 3d

I know that A:M Reports use to say (Reporter) not (Programer) but the new version installed on the new server does not at this time. I'm working on that but I did not think it should hold up the release!

Haha i have 5 out bound IP's and firefox set not to store cookies so you got 5 funnies. I voted die on all the ones above you. On a side note Hash, Inc. does not support or encourage vote stacking! haha

Oh and by the way.. I'm not a 'hash' it's Jason Simonds ... Not Jason Hash Haha, we do not want Martin thinking i married his daughter or something. I'm glade we got this worked out and sorry for the trouble.

I'm sorry you did not get the email i sent, It looks like your order was shipped i will look up the tracking number when i get back home tonight. I can not do that from my phone sorry! once again, I'm sorry you did not get my reply. Thank you, Jason Simonds Hash, Inc.

That is cool!!

I replied to your email about this. I will answer it here also. There is no need to enter your new serial number your old one is tied to your original version. That is why is still comes up in the new install. In most cases we give out a new number for people updating at show in case they have lost their old number that way they are not out the usage of the software till we recover their old serial number.

If you are running the subscription version you can update to v15.0f here for free. http://www.hash.com/2007web/updates.htm

For Libary set up go to. http://www.hash.com/lib Did you close your project with the Choreography you were working in closed? In your project workspace Open the choreographies folder and see if there are any choreographies listed there, double click on the one you were working on and it will open. If there are none listed just double click on the Choreographies folder and that will start a new one for you. If you have anymore questions please email support@hash.com

Try copying the .mov file to your hard drive, Some times your DVD drive may not have the Cache or Speed to load the .mov off the DVD.

Try this, Go to: http://hash.com/lib/ And copy the a Data folder off you CD to your hard drive. I'm not sure what year the CD you have is, but the data size of the 'Data' Folder should be over 400mb If not here is a copy of the 2007 Data folder ftp://ftp.hash.com/pub/misc/HASH2007Data.zip But this data is not 100% tested in older versions of the software. You can use the version that you got on EBay to update to the latest version of the software for 99.00. at http://hash.com/store That way you know that everything with the software and data is working.

Here is a link to the last 3 upgrade letters. http://hash.com/am2007/ http://hash.com/am2006/ http://hash.com/am2005/ I hope this helps.

The problem is usually video driver or video ram. 1) Update your video card drives off there website. You may also try running in Dx3d if in openGl or vise-verse 2) Close all windows but the one you are importing the rotoscope into. If it is still white/blank when you do that try making the window really small and import the image then re-size the window
