John, Your experience is the same as mine, I use the Targa for all of the same reasons you do. In addition, this is the only way for me to output to tape right now, and no one needs to tell me how time consuming and detrimental to my decks this is. I was under the misconception that the PAR had some sort of frame buffer that would function like the Targa. I'll keep my Targa, per your input, for more reasons than just output for single frame. I also use the VMaker utility for rendering lots of stills to tape, nice utility but can only do 16bpp with dual frame buffers. Nice scripting features for using all of the Targa features. (transitions, color shifting etc.) I certainly hope Truevision gets a clue and decides to write a driver for NT. Thanks for you informative reply, (I'm not really this polite in real life!) Tom
