Thomas, I don't have my own PAR yet so I'm not an expert on them, but I do know a bit about them from friends who have them. When you save IFF24's to the PAR they are converted automaticly. You can convert them back to IFF24's at a later time to do image processing on them as well. I think the new version of AdPro will even save images to DDR: (the PAR's device name) As for backing up your image files I'd say go with some sort of a tape drive rather than syquest. The tapes will be a lot cheaper than cartridges and the speed loss will be no big deal if it's just used for backup. As for a cheap way to put your DCTV anims to tape, a solution is in the works. A friend of mine is working on something that should be ready for the market in a few weeks. It's made for dumping short anim segments to tape on any VCR. Price SHOULD be under $100. Beyond that I can't say anything else about it. Jeff H…
