not a problem, Go to: rendering>render>under "common parameters" go to "rendering output". click save file and save as type format .avi or mov etc... then comes codec stuff which is optional. I use mpeg 4, sorensen 3 etc.. for quicktime. I use xvid or div x for avis generally. I almost never render to avi or quicktime unless its a test. always a tga sequence which I can then convert to avi or quicktime if i need it.
you can load a tga sequence into ram player (rendering menu) then save out an avi or quicktime from there.

It depends what your making the animation for but generally if its a final render you should render to a .tga sequence for your master, then create an .avi through RAM player or use editing/compositing software. If you intend to make a dvd for example you would render out a .tga sequence from max. import the sequence into premier and export an uncompressed .avi then import the avi into dvd authoring software like adobe encore. then within encore it gets transcoded for DVD and compressed.
If its for web purposes you could use Div x compression out of premier.
When I want a good quality file for previewing the animation I use quicktime with sorensen 3 compression, mainly because you can scrub the time slider with quicktime and sorensen 3 seems to give good quality compression although it does change the colours slightly.

Sorry my copy is licensed. you may have to look for it yourself on torrent sites or get the demo from adobe. For making avis you can use adobe premier. or save it out of MAX's Ram player. or use after effects, or better still use vdub.
[Link to www.virtualdub.org] vdub is great for batch processing video or dealing with very large files.

No you cant share commercial software here. Because it is illegal, and we will get into trouble.

If you find any freeware or shareware software that is fine to distribute according to the software license.
