>> …this is the *new* MARS 2 I'm referring to which uses MPEG-2, << Ahhhh, I don't recall hearing about this yet. Perhaps I skimmed their ads too quickly. >> I haven't seen one in action and I'm hoping they'll show it at Siggraph and >> we'll get reports back from the folks going there. I'll be sure to keep an eye open for it! >> Looks like some are selling theirs [PAR[ to finance a new PVR!<g> << I would guess most. <G> Not a bad move, especially if they are getting as much as they're asking. I'm planning to let things settle down a bit for now, my PAR suits my needs just fine for now, as I have some decent frame-by-frame sources if I need "broadcast quality" in the true (?) sense of the phrase. Besides, it sounds like some ex-PAR users are mourning the loss of some of the PAR's features on their shiny new PVR's. >> Just don't want to be left behind so I'm checking out both as much as possible >> before making a purchase 3 or so months from now. Good luck! Paul S.
