The Elite Force 2 intro, right?
With "big eruptions", are you talking about the stream that is sucked in by the singularity or do you mean the fiery little flares around the sun?
The stream should be relatively easy to achieve, just extrude and move some segments of the sun. The fiery flares...hmm Maybe you could add a second video post glow to the sund, and use some of the built in distortion functions! (Inferno)
Here, I took the freedom and added some video post thingies to Aszazeroth's sun scene
It's not perfect, but maybe a step into theright direction!

Thanks again Melak there is another thing that I need help with.

For the Video post I can save a picture but how do I save an animation with the video post I do know I that I need to have the Image output Event but when I save it to a movie file and open the file none of the video post effects didn't show up.

I can't figure out why it is doing that.

Always remember, video post is a queue.

So in other words, image output is the last thing on the queue when saving animations.

Scene [perspective, camera, whatever]
Render effects [glows, flares whatnot]
Image output

All tracks should be linked to scene root (not each other). I'd post a screenshot, but I'm at work. Hope this makes sense.

WIP: Semi-Random Projects

Comco: i entered it manually in the back end

One common problem is that the VP has to be enbled for the frames you want to render, ie make sure that the VP effects cover the frame(s) you render ie tick enable and 1-900 -ish. Done that mistake a few times and wondered why the h3ll isn't the stuff showing up, especially after altering the time slider length
