True, the transfer things is still going to be a problem, however I would
not have to involve the client in the process of converting all those
IFFs to Flyer clips...if it takes an hour per 200 frames, then most of my
anims are going to take 3 or more hours to convert...add that to the time
it takes for tape restore and you're talking about a LONG time!

It would definitely be easier to deal with 1 BIG file than 800 or more
not-so-big files...if one frame gets corrupted during the transfer
process then I'd be wasting a LOT of time!

Anyways, I've pretty much abandoned my plans for making use of this guy's
Flyer system...it's just not gonna be a practical solution for my
animation recording problems.

   ...does anyone have a PAR for sale??  =)
