Don’t know as I’m a freelancer and I’m working on this mac for a while, I’ll have to see the admin staff and find out, but if i can’t get hold of the original disc is there anyway around this

Thanks for the advice I’ll use compressor for the DVD.

Ok thanks for the info Sean, but a bit confused, If I am editing and capturing on a photo-jpeg time line in pal which has a upperfield dom and bring in some pal beta footage which is also upperfield dom which is fine, then go and capture some DVD footage which in Pal but has a lower field dom, and put this in the photo-jpeg timeline which is upper are you saying that the DVD footage is still lower field in the timeline? But its in a timeline thats upperfield? I have used compresser to make a mpeg2 dvd file but how do I put that file into idvd because I can’t drop that file into it, do I use another DVD burning application, would I have had this problem if I had captured eveything in Blackmagic uncompressed 8 bit.
