The whole issue surrounding network rendering has still to be fully addressed. I have been rendering off sections of a 1hr documentary of which 15 mins per section takes approx 2.5hrs to render off. Lots of effects multi track video compositing with chromakeying etc. I have not yet or come accross anyone who has figured out this network rendering that Sony "Boasts" about. I would be very interested to hear from anybody who has implemented this facility succesfully. Cheers
