So let me ask this then. I've rendered something out using no codec... it has fits and starts, but boy does it look good. By comparison the DV codec is a mile off. Is there anyway to work around this? Higher resolution input or some-such? My input is all from illustrator or photoshop. thanks M ________________ Matthew Guemple Art Director/03 mo.og at verizon.net 646.734.6601 www.gridd.com http://www.creativehotlist.com/ index.asp?linkTarget=fullProfile.asp&indID=19599
