Mental ray, help :)
Anywho, ive made a backdrop scene for something im doing and i want to render the backdrop animation with mental ray, as it the most realistic render engine for my scene, however, when i go to render settings, the (*.AVI) ext is not there with mental ray?... so im lost.. do i render the images seperatly and join them later or something?i really am lost..
here is a pic of the scene i've made, its pretty basic, i need to ask for some advice with my sdk setup aswell but i'll leave that for another time. in the animation the floor retracts over a pit and has fold out panels inside that fill in the gaps between each floor board.

render to still images and put them together in a compositing or editing program.
Accept no substitutions.

2. Change Frame Padding to 4 to add 4 digits after the name. This setting keeps the animation's still frames in sequential numbers. In the Resolution section, select a Preset from drop-down list.
Hope that helps out!
