Rendering for film 2005-05-04 - By kim aldis

First off, you shouldn't need to anti-alias too much differently to TV when
you render for film. Secondly, min max 2, 4 is way out of the ballpark. Even
3 is too high and I'm not surprised you're getting high render times. The
levels you set would be dependant upon what you're trying to render, not how
big. Even with lots of fine detail, 2 is about as high as you need to go.
