Can you?

Of course! 🙂 The more people get to see them, the better!

You should be aware of the infamous DM bug in AVS. I haven't located it, but I think this is what causes it to happen:

When you have a complex DM, AVS will spend a lot of time evaluating the code. If you switch presets during a critical time when AVS is still busy, it will crash. The reason it happens a lot with 3D DM's is because of the complexity (and therefor longer time) of the code. I think using alpha-blending is also related.

The bottom line is, most of my 3D DM's can cause AVS to crash when switching presets. So far I haven't found any workaround, but the frequency of crashes is pretty low... and you can always use the other presets that don't use 3D DynMovs.

Damn, that's great. I love the Discoball, especially since I can see my own presets on the ball by replacing the first effect list with them. That's a really cool feature. 😁
