> >regardless, Mpeg2 back to Dv back to Mpeg2 will fuzz. > Yup, he is saying if you want to ever edit your converted footage . . . you want DV format. Should be a breeze with iDVD 5 to just burn directly from your mini DV tape it all you want is a quick copy of the conversion (which is all they would do). I imagine they would charge more for a DVD then a mini DV tape???? -preston
