[Papervision3D] Free Papervision3D Workshops

Wed Jan 7 17:51:04 PST 2009

Is there not a time limit of 10 min?

    * MPEG4 (DivX, Xvid, H.264) format
    * 1280×720 resolution
    * 128k Mono or 320k Stereo MP3/AAC audio
    * 24,25 or 30 frames per second
    * Up to 1GB file size and 10 min. duration

If this is what you have to conform to, it makes it a little 
restrictive; yet, it is free so I can't complain too much without 
sounding like an ass.
