Use the chromakey fx.

John, interlacing confuses me too. If you are going to watch it on a projector fed from a laptop do you need to deinterlace? What if you are watching from a projector froma WDHD device?

Your track header size is too small. Go to the right side of your track header until the curser turns into two parrallel lines with an arror each direction and drag the border to the right. The slider will magically appear.

All you have to do is turn on ripple edit and you can accomplish what you want very easily. The arrow next to the ripple edit icon adjusts how it works .

Space bar is by default a ‘play/stop’ while enter is ‘play/pause’. There is a check box in preferences (about 1/2 way down general tab that can change space bar (and F12) to play/pause.

If you pause rather than stop your time line curser the one that is moving will stop where it is and will become one and the same as your first curser line which is simply an indication of where you started from. If you are playing and you press pause the where you were line will jump forward to the where you are line and will be your new where you were line when you start again. If you are playing and you press stop the where you are line (curser) will jump back to the same spot as the where you were line and you can play the same area over again. Having said that (if anyone could understand it) I find that my “S”plit command will split (cut) where my where you are line is (that is the one that is playing) not where the where I was line – still with me? So something seems to be wrong with your program. You could probably work around this by pausing where you want to split, make your split and continue to play to the next spot rther than splitting on the fly.
Many people use the space bar and the enter key for stopping/pausing. What they do can be changed in preferences.

Select all. Left click on one selection and drag to the rigght 30 seconds. Add your new material. One of many ways.

The 16:9 has nothing to do with the 5:1. Apples and oranges. Mini DV camcorders record in DV.avi which is about 5:1 compression ratio.

To make a DVD you MUST have an MPEG2 file as that is the ‘language of DVDs’ You can increase or decrease the quality (and thus the size) of the MPEG2 by adjustong the bit rate. The most common way is to render to Main Concept DVDA compliant MPEG2 video stream (adjusting the bit rate as required) and to render a separate AC# audio file. Nmae both files the same (except for extension) and place them in the same folder. When you go to DVDA to make the DVD and drop the MPEG file in DVDA will automatically grab the associated AC3 file with it. No rerendering should be required in DVDA thus saving quality.

Burned DVDs and commercial DVDs are two different birds. They are totally different. Commercial DVDs aere pressed, kind of like grooves in an old phonograph record. They are definately more hardy and if not damaged totally compatable with all DVD players. Recordable DVDs are based on a lazer changing the properties of a dye layer. Much less robust and dependable but still kind of amazing. Media makes a big difference. Try to stick with Taiyo Yuden or Verbatum. There also reportedly was a problem with compatability with the dual deck players burners. The ones that had both a DVD burner/player and a VHS deck in the same unit.
