When you say set to CBR do you mean quality set to one pass CBR as opposed to two pass VBR best?

here is what I think you reccomended
Average bit rate 7.0
Max bit rate 8.2
motion estimate good

Also under geometry what should my source input cropping be set to?
Custom or 4:3 which does 2 top 2 bottom? does that effect quality in any way?

Thanks,
Beth

I appreciate your quick response. So CBR I’m assuming that’s custom?
Is there any setting I should start with and then customize like DVD best quality 90 minute?
