Ok now I'm confused. If I make a QT with no compression and then make a DVD with iDVD (which will apply compression) will that run well? Or am I back to "it runs well but looks crappy"? >> I not sure I understand the "run not as good", though. Are you saying >> that >> if the original DV-compressed shoot is rendered without a codec and >> then >> burned to a DVD, it will have problems running on a standalone player? > Not at all. What I meant was that uncompressed video will run at least > as jerkily from a > DVD (Not mpeg2 or Sorensen , uncompressed)(just a storage DVD) as it > will from your harddrive . > Probably more jerky. > Jim Although the current solution to my original problem is/was to use a different codec, which runs/looks much better. ________________ 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
