Brendan, >> Interesting, do you render to system drives, do your compositing and then go over to your A/V system ? << yes, compositing is actually all done in 3ds' video post, and then the final output goes to the PAR/PVR in the case of tests, OR for final shots go to one of the 2 abekas DDR's OR film recorder. >> If you don't mind my asking, which video editor do you use? I have been using RP and so rendering to the PAR has always been convienent unless I need the Alpha for compositing then I go to system drives. << Video post at the moment, but I'm considering Speed Razor for compositing on the PVR but probably only for tests, but the same projects could be used for output as .tga's to the Abekas for final client approval. We rarely do final productions at MetroLight – most of our work is given to the client on exabyte to be editted by post houses in D1 suites, or film editors. The exabyte isn't too bad speed-wise for video, but for film rez it's too slow. The DLT drives sound promising in this respect and may become an industry standard up here. Martin
