I’m glad that worked and I’m glad I could help. Don’t forget to save that template under a new name so you can use it again (oops… I left that part out). 😉

Actually, while I got you.. Say I import a DVD and I want to create a single video file with it. Say I want it to have the best quality possible with no regard for file size so long as it’s not bigger than the source (if such a thing is even possible). Is there a quick answer for how to render it or do you have to know if it’s HD or blueray?

If you import a DVD it would be Standard Definition (720×480) MPEG2. The highest possible quality is the original MPEG2 file. Any rendering to a lossy codec will produce some loss although you might not see it until after a few generations. The best thing is to keep it in it’s original MPEG2 format and not re-render it. You will not get a lossless render at the same size. Lossless would require a much, much larger file size.

Okay, I’ll play around with that.

Thanks again John for all your help.
