Hey Guys
I know I have an out dated version of VS, but all my videos are shot on a DV camera with 4.3 resolution.
When I'm done editing I burn to a DVD using the VS program.
The quality of the DVD in not that good for some reason.
I have checked all the properties and they seem to be right.
But being a novice maybe the're not.
If I save the file as an AVI then import it into another program (in this case Power Producer) to burn,
I get a much better quality DVD.
Any clues??
Cheers
Mick
PS. The reason Im sticking with VS 7 is that I can navigate around it fairly easily.
Not saying Im confident, but enough to get by.
May look into upgrading to a new version in the future with a new HD camera too.
But for now VS 7 works fine for me.
Cheers

Re: Loosing quality burning in VS 7
You say you have checked the properties and they look all right - but you have not let us see the properties, the very thing which is likely to be giving you the problem. Could you please post on here the properties of the .avi file 'as captured' and the properties of the file you are taking into the burn module AND the settings you are using to burn the disc - field order, bit rate etc. - otherwise we're just guessing in the dark.

Hi
As Brian says we need a lot more info regarding your workflow and properties of your video
Your location would be useful, knowing if your Pal or Ntsc will allow us to provide the correct properties, maybe add this to your profile.
Read my Quick Guide to DV-Avi, link below
Gives a workflow and typical settings for converting from DV-Avi to Mpeg2 DVD.
VS7 to X4
The workflow, the approach to editing hasn’t changed, yes the layout is a little different.
Editing techniques have improved, but the way we do it is practically the same.....

Hey Guys
You are probably right.
I actually didnt double check the output properties.
I captured and edited the video a couple of years ago and loaded the AVI file again to burn an other copy last week.
I just figured it would all still be right as I didn't change anything from before.
Will have to go through and re-check everything.
Thanks Guys

Hi
From the timeline, right click an AVI clip and select properties, what are they?
How long is the movie.?
