hi joe,
thank you so much for responding..
the last workflow that kind of worked for me was
video mixdown, export same as source to sorensson and export
as mpeg2 pal 2 pass between 8 to 12 mbps..
from there to encore cs5 which transcodes the mpeg2 again…
the final output was ok, a hugh loss of colors, contrast and depth.
has to be a better way.
