Many possible answers. Your best bet is to go to either COW’s Vegas Forum or our DVD Authoring Forum.

Let me rephrase that, I would like to know if mpeg 2 rendered from uncompressed tga sequence files are as good as quicktime movie (animation codec) compressed (converted) to mpeg 2 for DVD output to play on a standalone player.
Thanks a bunch.

That still sounds like a Q more appropriate for the DVD Authoring forum. 😉
Actually, alot depends on the quality settings you provide for the movie when you use the Animation CODEC. The said CODEC is only lossless qith a quality setting of 100. Anything less, theoretically results in some qualitative loss from the original content.Uncompressed TGA’s are good, which is why broadcastGEMs uses them. 🙂 Being uncompressed, they’re definitely better than the Animation (with a quality setting of less than 100).

Thanks for the reply Roland.
I will post it in the DVD authoring forum to see if I can more detailed answer.
