blender animation rendering isn't working

Hi ,
I’m using ubuntu 10.04 and blender 2.59 my VGA is NVIDIA 8400
when i try to render a picture it renders perfectly but when i try to render animation it just shows the new window blank and no rendering happens
Please help!

Try a different codec. I’d highly recommend Initially rendering any animation as an image sequence using something like lossless .png

sorry for the inconvenience i have found the solution
it was maybe because i made these .blend in windows but now i appended the whole project to a new file in ubuntu and now it’s animating :slight_smile:
