Gus, <<The second mode of operation is what I called TARGA mode. In this mode, when you do a DIR all you get is TGA files. The physical data itself never changes. It's just when you copy the files out of the PAR into your hard disk that the files get converted from PAR native format back to Targa format. >> So… after my sip of coffee.. If I wish to use images that I have placed on the PAR as entries in my Video Post Queue, I would use the above command to make a TGA copy of the image on my non-PAR hard drive.(?) This also holds true for materials in that the bitmaps must be on the non-PAR drive.(?) If my intent was to use the PAR for rotoscoping mega-footage off live video, I'm required to copy that compressed footage on to my non-PAR drive.(?). Where's that coffee…. jonas[adesk]
