>Easy, yes, but not inexpensive. There are single frame alternatives >starting at under $200. The advantage to non-PAR based alternatives is >they do not use lossy compression schemes. I believe it IS inexpensive. While true that there are single-frame alternatives that are inexpensive they require a deck capable of sinlge-frame recording, several thousands of $$$. I am doing 3D freelance work at home (part-time) and don't have money to buy or rent decks to s-f to because I have clients that use SVHS, BetaSP and 3/4". So instead I use the PAR and take my machine to thier studio and dump to thier decks, simple AND inexpensive. I say the PAR is inexpensive when compared to buying decks, especially several different decks. <<< Tony D. Tracer >>> (Any render time >0 needs acceleration.)

Re: PAR vs Single Frame to Tape. With the PAR, you can also make unlimited 1st generation tapes. Jim R. Ollick Using AP from Bergenfield, NJ

If you render to disk then single frame to tape you get the same capbility. And it easier on the mechanics of the tape drive.. wmc – via Autopilot!
