Yeah! thanx a lot man! you really saved my life, I mean it. I’m so nervous about the festival, that I didn’t set the DVD to 16:9, quite obvious, but I passed over it. Thanks again and a hundred times thanks. I posted another problem I have with two movies (short films actually) that encore won’t let me create the DVD. It keeps saying that the mpeg file is not valid. I only extracted it directly from the original dvd and did no transcoding to it. I think there’s something wrong with the original file, but it could be something I’ve done (I don’t think so, ’cause I’d already created 25 movies for the event and only two of them are problematic)
