Jerry, I don't know if you received the complete message, but here is some information that I downloaded from the DPS BBS a few days ago. At this point this is all I have to offer you concerning the MCI drivers. MCI Driver software will be available for the PAR card in the second week of February 1995. This feature allows you to interface to all MCI compliant sound cards. Cards that contain true DSP technology will allow for better performance. The MCI driver also allows the PAR card to be operated as a device from any windows application that speaks MCI. Most importantly, the MCI driver allows you to playback your animation files simultaneously with audio. AVI CODEC AVI CODEC (Audio-Video Interleave) software for the PAR card will be released in the second week of February 1995. This software will allow you to use non-linear editing software such as Adobe Premiere 4.0, in:sync RAZOR, and other AVI aware programs to create edited broadcast quality video. Use the full power of these programs to directly edit your PAR animation sequences. RAZOR by in:sync Razor is a software animation compositor and digital video editor for windows which allows you to combine digitized video clips, animation, stills, music and sound effects. Razor has been designed to directly work with the PAR card without AVI conversion. For further information, contact in:sync at (301) 831-5008 >>Regarding AVI. are you saying that the PAR card will support avi files<< No, the sound clips will be kept on the hard drive and the will be tied to the *.ANI files from the PAR, similar to what you have with the *.AVI format know. You will be able to convert the *.ANI and sound to the *.AVI format with Razor Pro. The problem with Razor Pro reading the PAR slave drive is in the MCI driver and I have been told that it will be fixed with a new update. I do not have a problem with reading/copying to the slave drive from the DOS software that shipped with the PAR. Mike Morgan, CAD Forms Inc.
