#yet another PAR question

Greg: I noticed from your DPS PAR ZIP file that the PAR runs in 752 X 480 (fixed) resolution. I'm used to using my Targa+ at 512 X 486 and storing the individual frames on my optical drive. How would I set up my system with the PAR? I can render to .TGA files at any resolution, I think and it sounds like I can also render directly to the PAR's disk drive. Also, I read a review of the DPS PAR (I don't remember where – Maybe in 3D Artist, or maybe New Media…) and they said something about the 500 Mb drive holding 3 to 5 minutes of video but being limited to about 2 minutes of video because of some kind of recalibration done to or by the drive every 2 minutes. Does this match your experience? Chris
