I have Truspace and povray's autobatch utility as well as RTAG, DTA, AAPLAY, PLAY and Windows Media Player, but I am interested in recording broadcast quality video ray-traced animation (numbered targa files, I guess ) to video. What hardware/software do I need for $2-4,000 in addition to my p590? I am guessing I need something that will convert the rgb data files into video and record them so I don't have to save gigabytes of data per minute. I would also like to be able to combine these with actual filmed video and/or edit frames in photoshop, etc. with fancy peels,fades,etc.

Kevin, I reccoment the PAR (personal animation recoder) from DPS. It's a card for the PC (or Amiga). It's a HD-VCR. You give it the TGA files and after a short time you can play back your anim as video. Supports full video resolution. I think it's $2500 plus HD. Very low price compared to other systems or single frame recording. -David
