If you have to render constantly, your sequence isn’t set up right. What are your sequence settings, and what are your media properties (you said ProRes 422?)
One way to be positive you have the settings right is to make a new sequence and edit in some of your source footage. A message will pop up saying the media and sequence settings don’t match, asking if you want it to fix the sequence – say yes. Then you should be good.

I think it looks fine. I do a lot of things like this too, in a much noisier and more unpredictable environment with less eloquent people, so I totally understand wanting to make things as perfect as possible. You just have to do your best. 2-3 frame audio dissolves help a lot in many cases, and without b-roll to cut to, you won’t be able to get rid of ums midsentence. You could re-frame (blow up the video in the frame so it looks like a different camera) to cut around ums, but I find that to be a lot more jarring in a lot of cases because it is basically a jump cut. I do use it sometimes if the style of the piece allows but in these more straightforward interview segments, what you have going here is fine.

Not really a design flaw, just not the way that was intended to be used. I will sometimes disable a clip briefly in the timeline to check between alternates. Click on a clip and hit ctrl-B to toggle clip disable/enable. This results in minimal (or no) rendering weirdness.
It sounds like you really need to look up multicam and cut this video with a multiclip.

It’s a 1.0 release and it’s been out for 2 hours. You people are so silly.

I tried Sorenson, AME, and Bitvice.
I guess you could say I’m not a huge fan of DVD authoring 🙂 Thanks for your input!

Button overlays and highlights are done either with black and white or grayscale, and they can be four colors only.

What was your editing codec? Also, what was your workflow to go from FCP to DVDSP or Toast?
By the way, video graphics are supposed to be 72dpi. I’m not sure if too many dpi can cause this issue.

Right, my whites were originally just under 235. I brought them way down on one test and still had the same issues. Thanks though.

I’ve done it several times by now with the same results, but I know I used Compressor’s default m2v settings once, and then another time I changed the average bitrate to around 5 and max 7.2, and another time brought it up a little. I let it resize with the default settings. I also set up a job chain on one try and resized it to another ProRes file, THEN transcode for DVD. All produced exactly the same results.

DVD menus are very simple and limiting unfortunately. I’m not sure how well you’ll be able to achieve this the way you’re thinking. Look up button overlays, there’s tons of stuff about it. The best would be to get the Apple Pro Training Series DVDSP book.
