Great. Very clear. Thanks so much.

When I saw the upload icon – and it worked, I just assumed that, well, it worked. Here’s a link:

Thanks. I’ve attached a screen shot of the highlight menu. You can see what I’m trying to do. I’ve been able to reduce the problem from the default settings of blended colors by adjusting the specific color itself and transparency for the outline and anti-alias colors. I guess the real issue is that the underlying menu item isn’t hidden – but even if you change the background color to white in the highlight – it still doesn’t have good anti-aliasing itself – completely unlike the anti-aliasing used for the text of menu item.

Figures. Argh.

Any thoughts on the avi inflation by 10x?

The interesting thing is, that in terms of playing time, the total minutes it used on the DVD – even with the “inflation” was correct (i.e. the length that DVD Arch. gave for play-time was the length of the avi file. It didn’t reduce the amount of recording time available.)

Thanks, John.

Yes, I’m using 64-bit. I don’t have Camtasia. However, the codec is available – and it worked. Thanks so much.

And, yes, I was going to re-encode the AVI files in Vegas – but obviously, I couldn’t.

But why would DVD Arch. inflate an AVI 10x? That just seems crazy.

Before this I tried Any Video Converter – and even with the best setting I could find – it introduced unacceptable noise into the audio – and reduced the video quality too much.

I have not done much with DVDs and not for awhile – and this is the first time I had video over and hour long (I have about 3 hrs in this project). So, based on what I saw in DVD Arch. I was under the impression that DVD’s are 60 minutes – unless you have double layer. That was until I went to buy some – then I saw that they are labeled as 120 min. for 4.7Gb DVDs.

Thanks, again.
