<<Did you originally set the PAR drive as the target drive to store targa files on?>> Yeah, I dump files directly from the rendering process to the PAR — My symptoms may be different that yours — I get about 10-15 (short) animations on the PAR, then , for no apparent reason, I render one more, and 5-6 of the previously stored animations have corrupted frames. They were all perfect before this last operation. This is not something that happens during playback, the animations have corrupted frames even when stepping through them. Really weird. I'm glad I haven't done anything of (major) significance yet, I'd have a hard time explaining to a customer how my $ 3000 taping gear ate his $4000 animation so it won't be ready on time <g>.. I hope this gets better —
