Hi,
yes you are right…sorry my mistake, i meant to say i have a comp @1024*576 dv1 wide screen square pixel, and yes this is 25fps.

Referring to render dialog i was looking at the output module settings frame rate as oppose to the render settings drop down, for this reason i noticed that the frame rate in the drop down menu stated 30fps when i went to change it i realized that the comp settings and frame rate were in fact the settings it would use for the render.

25fps for pal dvd, 29 for ntsc and 24fps i guess would be if the video is intended for TV broadcast, but for DVD for pal is 25fps this is correct.

So all is well, a fully rendered comp @ 1024*576 25fps quicktime animation quality settings, render time 1hr and 37mins for 2 minutes based on these settings using a quad core@ 2.4ghz 4gb ram

Thanks for the comments and help.

Time Remapping!!!

(also found under the Layer menu). This feature gives video layers a new property that allows you to set key frames representing frames in the footage clip. This allows you to slow down, gradually speed up, freeze frame, rapidly accelerate and reverse footage, all in a single layer.

Yes I realized this and managed to work out a solution.

Many thanks for your help.

Thank you for the reply,

Yes, i was working along those lines you suggested. Problem i have found is the nesting* with the 1024*576 if i make a comp in AE pal dvd size and next my comp into it the image is pixelated, i have been using 1024*576 square pixel for all of my AE comps. If i export from AE direct from this comp size and import to encore it reads it as 16.9 and all looks fine but i wont be able to add text in the letterbox area…

no solution for this i think… do you?
