Classic RTFM case… Nope. Nothing is wrong with any of your hardware/software. You are using somewhat confusing names, that's all. Dang, I don't have the PAR manuals but I'm almost sure it has a paragraph or two concerning naming conventions when using the PAR. Due to the way sequences are stored and retrieved, you cannot use names such as SEG_1 and SEG_3 and expect it to work. SEG_1, SEG_3, SEG_4, etc. all point to the same file. The first one in this case. When you save numbered files over to the PAR, you expect them to become an animation right? So, when in 3D Studio, or from the DOS prompt, or from any program that generates numbered sequences of image files, you tell it to store those files over the PAR, you expect them to become a single animation file. In order for that to work, the PAR driver must disregard the number portion of the file name and use just the alphabetic portion. In other words, SEG_1 and SEG_? is an illegal naming combination as the first file to match "SEG_" will be returned when searched. I wonder how you were able to create those file. The PAR driver would not allow you to do that as it would be impossible to access the second file (or third, fourth, etc.) You will have to rename them all. Once you do that you'll be all set.
