Rock-
If your worried about tape wear, just set THRD=0 in your BCDSETUP.TXT.
That unthreads the machine after each edit. The only prob I have with
rendering directly to tape is that in a longer animation, it's a real mess
if your machine happens to botch or completely miss an edit. I know it's
not supposed to, but I've had it happen. It's a real mess trying to find
the exact frame where the botched edit is and you basically have lost all
of the time you've spent rendering everything after the bad edit. Your
Choice.
