I have a problem with my MC2217 GB harddrive and PAR although I think it could be perfectly normal. First of all I have 10 ANI files residing on thye drive they are as follows-: 1. 962frames 2. 350 frames 3. 749 frames 4. 249 frames 5. 27 frames 6. 251 frames 7. 201 frames 8. 5502 frames 9. 339 frames 10. 101 frames Problem is this leaves me with nearly 6 minutes animation and only about 450MB of the 1.6 mentioned free on the drive: I know need to do some joins like 1+2, however this creates a file of 1312 frames extra and this file gets corrupted about halfway for some parts of the animation. Could this be a bad spot on the PAR drive or is it normal that I get this since the drive is for3/4 full after the join only 323.2 MB free???? I have min.compression Block Limit 302 Q-Factor 23 (I'm in PAL world remember) Any suggestions, I have no backup available and I need to join all these files into 2 or 3 files ??????? I should have had backup however, I ordered an external DAT and 10 days ago I got an internal one so I have to wait about another week for the external. I need the animation by Wednesday morning for a prersentation through the day. Christophe
