Greg,
I am no expert or anything, but due to the way the PAR/HD works, I believe that
there is no way that you could use the dedicated hard drive to store anything
but the video files. The way I understand the process, in order to playback
the frames at 30 frames/sec., the files have to be in sequential order and it's
all the HD can do to transfer the data that fast.
Also, the guy from DPS that I talked to at Siggraph said that due to the
difference between the different sound boards, there may be a time lag between
when the animation starts and when the .wav file starts. That means that you
would have to tweak the .wav file alittle to sync it up to the video.

tjl,
That's what I thought. Although it would be nice to have the PAR compress .wav
files too (@ 16-bit stereo they rival the size of tga's) and store them in
chunks in-between the frames for perfect sync. With all those sound editors &
.wav files out there, you could tinker with the soundtracks yourself. If the HD
could keep up, that is. Thanks for the info.
