It's alway's the righthand part of the joint I was expermenting with
optional lefthand rotation but this is kinda complicated and I have
droped it for now (on the preview pictures on the site you still can see
the L/R radiobuttons though :)
Based upon your 'adventure' I think I should disable all non partpoint
controls during partpoint editing.

I have experianced this problem myself a while back, I think some
internal preparation is not done somewhere in the line. I am looking
into this.

A tutorial will be there in time. I was thinking about recreating the
robotarm or minifig project step by step or something like that.

Should warn you here, there are some, let's say 'issues' ;) on this. For
example sometimes the controls for the models are messed upped in the
control window.

You mean a program? I don't have tips there I've looked for a good
freeware one myself but failed.
In means of encoding I would say DivX (v4 or v5).
Talking about encoding do you know of a good online resource for
programming video for windows? (does not have to be delphi oriented).
