first off thank you very much john for your knowledge and time. two more hopefully last questions lol. first concerning this hdv template under the iframes setting theres two settings. profile and level. i have set both of them to high. is this correct? and lastly if i let this 60p footage render in 29.97 how would that affect the look of the video? i ask because i realize the subsequent dvd will be 29.97 interlaced so why render to 59.970 when it wont be that frame rate on dvd. thanx so much for helping me.
