After much faffing about and managing to get it to work I came across this tutorial which would have made thhings much more simple!

oo That’s a good idea, I’m gonna have a play with that this evening! Cheers

ah I feared that may be the case and there wouldn’t be an easy fix. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Oh ok, I’m on CS4 at the moment so I’ll convert the clips to mpeg 2 then. Hopefully we’re upgrading to CS5 shortly though.
Thanks for all the help! Really appreciate it,
Simon 🙂

oh yeah sorry that was a type it’s 1920 x 1080.
The footage was shot on a Canon 5D2 and is a quicktime file .mov
My project settings are;
General
Editing mode: Desktop
Timebase 30.frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x 1080
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pxels (1.0)
Fields: No Fields (progessive scan)Video Rendering
Maximum bit depth box is unchecked
File format: Video for Windows
Compressor: Blackmagix 8bit MPEG CodecI also realised that even if I scrub through the footage the red bar along the top doesn’t go green at any point so it seems like it won’t preview any of the footage.
I hope that’s enough information, and I appreciate you taking the time to help me out 🙂

Sorry one more question, when you say encode for dvd what format should I be encoding it to for a standard dvd player. I’ve seen a few answers all over the internet some saying .vob, .iso or mpeg-2 so i’m a bit lost now!
Thanks very much
