Hi Adam,
Thanks for the help. My original note may not have been clear. My final destination isn’t DVD but rather a standalone .mpg files. Lets say for example I have an older DVD with a video from a Hawaii vacation and a video from a dance recital. While importing the video into Vegas Pro 8.1 I’ll end up with numerous .mpg files for the Hawaii vacation, since it had chapters within it, and a single file for the dance recital. What I’d like to do is stitch together the multiple files from the Hawaii vacation so the end result is a single .mpg file. In Vegas I can usually do this type of thing without re compression if the source and selected output format match. While rendering it will say re compression not needed or something along those lines. But in this case it wants to re compress no matter what MainConcept options I choose. Hopefully that makes the issue clearer.
