Yeah, I was afraid of that.
I believe the sanyo has the BCD installed in it, so it may be the same
problem I have.
If your render times are fairly constant, you could set up a simple delay
command, something like LOOP150;TIME180;APND1;LEND. The number after TIME
is supposed be increments of .1 sec, but for me it was more like .25.
This (sort of) worked when extracting JPEG files using pegger and
rendering as a foreground sequence. The images came up roughly 40 sec
apart, but the variance in deJPEG times was too big to be totally
reliable.
If you don't have Pegger, I strongly recommend getting it. It will vastly
increase the number of frames you can save. I get about 26 RGBs per meg.
This will at least allow you to sleep while you render, and reduce the
amount of time you spend waiting to hit the joystick button.
I have been meaning to follow this up with BCD, but my day job keeps
interfering with my toaster-related activities. If I find a better
answer, I'll let you know.
You might also post an inquiry to Jonathan Hirschman 70274,2526. He is
developing a single-framing utility for the Sanyo and BCD called GroVer.
Last I heard, he was looking for beta testers.
Best of luck,
