Distort clip quality diminished?

Hi Dann

I do not use DVD Workshop, even so I do not understand your question, re using Dvd Workshop when it gives you errors??????????
I do not think I can help there, if it¡¦s a problem to you, it may be best to start a new post

Rendering times
A big subject, by keeping your video properties and project properties the same, VS is able to use Smart Render.
Basically this copies the bits that have NOT been changed and renders the bits that have.

If you change the bit rate from say 6000 to 6001 then all frames will have to be rendered, taking time. Smart Render being practically disabled.

The amount of editing, using Filters, long titles, long auto music, the list is endless, causes additional rendering, takes time.

The speed of your PC at 1600 is a bit slow

So when you say (but it takes forever) how long is forever, and what are you rendering, from what, and to what.

As a test I took a one minute Avi and rendered to Pal Dvd standard template (no edits)
This took 2 mins 10 sec.

With my old pc I would have expected 5/6 minutes
