Nick –

Thank you for the reply. I downloaded the program and saw several differences, none of which I could identify the cause. I was eventually able to obtain a Quicktime version of the project. I then added the music and exported as Quicktime, it seemed to hold the original quality.

I will keep the mediainfo on hand for future use. Thank you for the reply and tip.

Mike –

Thank you for the response. Obviously I have alot of ignorance when it comes to video. Here is what I was thinking.

In audio – if you mix a wave to a high quality MP3, say 320kbps you will get a loss in quality. However, if I start with the 320kbps in my projects, then layer another track on top, as long as I mix down to 320 kbps again, I should not lose quality of the original MP3, because I am not compressing that track any further. Atleast this is how I have come to understand, I have used this method in real world projects without noticable degregration.

I guess I assumed with video, as long as I did not render to a ‘lower’ format that what I started with, I should not lose video quality. Am I to assume that any render will lose quality in some way? This sounds like it would be difficult to deal with in the video world.

Thank you again for your time. My clients usually give me Quicktime videos, this is a rarity that they prefer WMV.
