Thanks - I have not at this point attempted the premiere encoder, I was only using the functions that create an AVI, I then took that avi and created a DVD with "MY DVD".

I was going to use the premiere encoder and try the process again. 1) do you think not encoding was the problem 2) do you think the premiere encoder will be satisfactory?

Gregg 42 seemed to also mention these problems - any suggestions Gregg 42?
