    Question,

    Why does DVDA3 recompress the video if i rendered it in MainConcept MPEG2, setting “Good”, video quality on “High” inV6? I Burnded a DVD with the recompression and it looked aweful. Thank You for your help Geoffrey.

    As long as the MPEG2 file is DVD compliant and the project type matches that file, DVDA should not recompress it. Use one of the DVDA preset in Vegas then make sure the project type is the same in DVDA.

    As far as i know everything is compliant. is there a way to check if it isn’t?

    This doesn’t make sense. I rendered my project again in V6 Mainconcept MPEG2. I assume DVDA3 updates the rendered project from V6 automatically. If not then that might be my problem. However, I opened a new project in DVDA3 and added the same MPEG2 video file as mentioned above. I go to burn it to DVD and IT IS NOT recompressed. I’m confused.

    Also, it seems the “SET IN POINT” is not very accurate. I set the in point at a specific point in the beginning of the video, it plays fine in preview yet when I burn it to DVD The “In Point” starts a few seconds early. Am i doing it wrong or is it a bug? Thank you again, Geoffrey

    It should not be “a few seconds early”. It should be within 1/2 second.
