Hi Jim,

Thanks for your response. I have demuxed the files, but DVDSP still doesn’t like them, which I think is an issue with the “size” of the video (i.e. it’s 320×240 instead of 352×240 pixels). If there were a way to add a little strip of black in place of the missing pixels, this might help…but I don’t know if that’s going to require a conversion or something.

Thanks again…

Graham

Really? MPEG1 doesn’t work for DVD? Mmmmm, why does Compressor have a “MPEG1 for DVD” setting? Is that mabye just a Video CD setting? I seem to remember reading somewhere that MPEG1 at 352×240 works for DVD, but maybe I misinterpeted that…

Anyways, the size is not the issue so much. I just want to keep the clips looking the same and get them onto a DVD. The important thing is that the pixelation and noise from my camera remains as it was in the original clips. Here’s a sample of what I’m talking about:

I want to keep all those little dots and squares that are dancin’ around on the screen, but conversions/compressions tend to flatten most of this out into black. This is the big issue for me.

Thanks for your help though, and if you (or anybody) can think of anything else, that would be great.
