3ds Max :: Video Post Crash / Environment Mapping

I'm relatively new when it comes to 3D applications.Basically, I have created a scene of the Earth from space, and have managed to create a relatively good looking still image.

However, for my project I need a full 3D environment map, and so far I have been unable to produce this with the environment map option in the rendering tab. Basically when moving the camera, the background stays exactly the same, but I want the background image to pan aswell - having a fixed image makes no sense when panning around a 3D scene if I'm being clear :/

I tried to use video post, but every time I try to execute the render Max hangs on "Transforming Vertices". It does this on full scenes and totally blank scenes, but so far has only done it when rendering a camera view, not perspective. The only way out of Max is to close it from the task manager when this happens. I searched all day yesterday for a solution to this, but the only thing I could find was to alter the bitmap pager, which 2011 doesn't allow customization of.

So after I gave up on Video Post ever working, I rendered the inside of a tube with a star map. I have problems with the texture looking right when I do this however, it looks stretched, blurred, and the joins between faces are very apparent.how to make an environment map fully wrap around the scene, and pan with the camera.
