  29. I don't think this can be done because the PAR card does the encoding of 
  30. the frame.  With out that hardware the time to encode the frame would be 
  31. very high and this would take CPU time away from the scene you are 
  32. rendering.  It would be nice to have but so would a Cray MPP computer.
