Gregory, Sorry to bother you off the forum, I'm not even sure that you are support for DPS, but I saw your name with alot of questions so here I am. I recently installed the par 1.5 upgrade (looks nice, works great). During install, it mentioned a par.ini for windows and MCI in the same breath. Out of curiosity I got the Par to run under Windows (ooohhh!!!) but since the par won't play any available "Media" formats, is there something in the works? Will the par be able to export to some "avi" or other type of fomat, to preview and edit stuff in windows? in the near future? While lurking in the autodesk multimedia forum, I saw some mention of Razor Pro and DPS. My wild guess is that if I purchase and install Razor Pro, I will have the MCI links to the Par? Since I am still unsure of a good windows, digital editing package for my animations, maybe you can offer me some insight on Razor Pro and DPS as a solution? Thanks Mason

Gregory, Thanks for info….this time I filed the address's away. I appreciate the help, will let you know how Razor Pro does for me. By some other replies, it looks like just the ticket. Mason

I realy don't get excited about new things very often, but I really love this PAR system.

dear Greg. Last week you left a message to Richard Smith as follows : >> Our PAR is hooked into our Beta SP edit suite with a 3 secound GPI trigger , works flawlessly ! Great way to quickly test out lip sync and … etc. Would you have time to explain how this works and what it is used for ? I understand the GPI trigger. Are you editing with both the PAR and your Beta SP tied in together ? I wasn't clear what you were doing. David.

HI, I just got a PAR and am using Razor Pro to edit things, For the money I think it's the best thing going.

Mason, I own RazorPro and the PAR setup with the correct MCI drivers and it works great. I composite effects and transitions to clips in RP and play it back to an NTSC monitor with the media player in Windoze. If Ichoose to add any .wav file to it in RP, RP creates a .wav and I can then link it in the media player to the PAR .ani file and it all plays back seamlessly! I even composited uncompressed .avi files with .ani(PAR native format) files and a .tga sequence all into one finished clip straight out to the PAR. I also use Premiere 4 for any Photoshop filter I need to animate over time. Anyway the MCI drivers are available on the RP BBS! Later, JACK
