Par drive is special and can only be accessed by the PAr SW/HW
(correct me someone if I am wrong). You need to copy the data to a
normal amiga HD then use Scala encoder. Or else you could try ImageFX.
It is suposed to be able to read PAR frames directly but I am not sure
if that works as I dont have PAR anymore and used some time ago.
