    Hi,
    I’m not at work so don’t have the specs with me but will post them tomorrow from work.

    In the meantime, there may be a simple solution. I have purchased and downloaded an mpeg4 movie but my Vegas 9 can’t read it. So I used pazera to convert the mpeg4 to mpeg2 and I chose the standard pal mpeg2 settings.

    However the picture comes into vegas as a small square (i.e. doesn’t take up the whole screen). when I go into settings in Vegas and choose the mpeg2 settings (576x??can’t remember from home) the picture still stays as a smaller square within the screen. I haven’t chosen letterboxing or widescreen or anything like that). I’ve ended up burning it that way because I couldn’t work out the problem but it doesn’t look good.

    Alternatively, I don’t really even need Vegas if I could bring mpeg4 directly into DVD Architect 5.0. I will post there also but the reason I need Vegas is because DVDA couldn’t read the file.

    Basically, I need it in a format that I can caption it.

    Thank you
