Hi Martin, I can vouch for the 100 mhz vs 90 mhz setting…..sort of. I was originally installing my PVR in a P66, which runs at the same speed as the 100mhz (Assus as well). It would seem to initialize and operate, but some frames had a "glitch"….horizontally displaced bands in the image. I installed the PVR into a P90 and voila….perfection! Regarding your import limit of 157 files: you are probably highlighting the names of the files that you want to import. Instead, just highlight the first file in the sequence you want to import. The PVR "automatically" looks for the sequence and will continue importing until there is a break in the numeric sequence. For example, if you have a sequence of TGAs with numbers 0000 thru 0372, but file number 0245 is missing, highlight file number 0000 only and the PVR will import up to frame number 0244 and will stop because the sequence is broken. You can restart the import sequence by highlighting frame number 0246 and the PVR will import through to frame number 0372. Unfortunately, the PVR will not join these sequences…..you end up with 2 seperate .ani files. I miss this feature from the PAR because we frequently "bleed" TGAs from our server, appending them to the proper .ani file. With the PVR, you must have the entire sequence of TGAs online to be able to create a single .ani file of the animation. A bit of a pain in the A…!! Hope this helps! Later, -Jeff
