- I just went through the identical exercise last night. I thought (silly me)
- that I could access the PAR files right off the device into LW. I don't
- think it's possible without a special PAR interpreter which doesn't exist,
- to my knowledge. Good news: You can down load the files to your HD as IFF
- and access them as a sequence from LW. BAD NEWS: even with Pegger, this
- can take MASSIVE HD space, and there is some quality degradation in all
- the jpeg-ing going on. Time consuming. A pain. Still, it works.
-
- If anyone can tell me if I am wrong here, that it IS possible to directly
- access the PAR with LW or any other program, PLEASE let us know.
