OK, that will hopefully work for the time being, how well is Widescreen
(specifically anamorphic DVD's) supported under "DVD Studio Pro"?  I think
I'm going to want to buy "DVD Studio Pro" eventually in any case, as iDVD 
just doesn't provide the level of control I want (I'm used to useing 
"TMPGEnc Plus" on WinXP where I can fully tweak my encode).
