Wow, a lot of opinions on how this should be done. What I've gathered is that an RAR and
PAR set for the movie, and a seperate RAR/PAR set for the ancillary files might be the
best way to go, as for as current user, and way future user.
I'll try that for a while.
thanks for all the feed back guys, it does make be want to keep going.
