Thanks, I got it to work now . Starting to learn Maya bit for bit, but still has a LONG way to go.

Edit: I feel so pathetic for asking so many questions. But which format and other options are the best one to use when you publish/render the "movie", and you want it in a working format for watching it in video players like VLC? I use 8.0, if that matters .

Edit 2: Tried with .avi, and it worked good. So will stick with that unless someone gives me an advice to use another one.
