Paul: >> our unorthodox way of dumping to tape That's why we always save to disk first, look at every 30th frame, then dump all to laser at once. Since we have a 15 system network to render, with 48 megs on each 486/66, it makes life a little easier! If I want to examine a transition, I just take that portion out to laser (30 frames), and look at it! It seems like we use the hard disk like you use the tape, writing over the frames there, then laying it off to laser at once. Everyone needs to find out what works best for them based on available equipment! >> We obviously envy your in house equipment options. <g> Being in the interesting position of user, authorized developer, and authorized dealer gets us all sorts of options! But we still fight over resources here! And as soon as we get to understand a piece of equipment enough to program for it, the manufacturer takes it away! In addition to higher overhead, lots of time spent testing and evaluating H/W and S/W, and figuring out how to integrate it all into a working system! Never a dull moment! Greg Pyros
