Tony, Here is the trick. In the RECORD menu, select the NAME000 format of saving RGB's. Then select 24bit TARGA. Click Save RGB images and give the name "Q.TGA" to your file. The "Q" can be any letter. You might get a requestor that tells you that you don't have permission to use the drive. If you do, just click OK and click save again. You shouldn't get the requestor again. I know it sounds wierd, but that is how I got it working. My guess is that the PAR drivers look for a .TGA extension when you click the SAVE button (before you actually render something). Since there is no way to turn off the sequential numbering of LW, what Q.TGA gives you is Q.TGA000, which is eight characters long (PERFECT!!). Render your animation, then rename the file in your PAR software when it is done. WHEW!! Also — Make sure that you are rendering in the D2 aspect ratio (Camera Menu) Andrew S.
