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