NTSC - PAL...Living in UK - so we go with PAL?
I now have VS 9 - bit rusty on this videoediting malarky - downloaded booklet giving it a read-through. It's not..straight forward is it. i mean all this Smartproxy stuff..settings...All I want is the BEST quality method of inputting my video/hd footage - and once edited getting the BEST quality i can.
Any thoughts on the best settings I need to do what is afterall the very basic of requirements for a videoediting package. Why isnt there an option which takes into account your PC graphics card etc and flick of a switch can tell you best choices to make..surely no-one wants to waste time editing something when the quality it burns too could be better?
PAL....quality control setting..getting the best burn..

Corel has anew program called Fast flick (or something like that name). It should be on your desktop to try. Don't be surprised if it ends up not totally satisfying like most things that try to make a complex process simple.

Best settings for making a dvd
Video bitrate max 9.8Mbps
Total bitrate 10.08Mbps, to include audio and subtitles.
Now, older dvd players will find it hard to play dvds over 8Mbps, inc audio, so video would be about 7.5 with the headroom for audio.
Then again, the higher the bitrate the larger to file size on disc, so you have to match bitrate to file length. The longer the video the lower the bitrate needed to fit it on.
If it's to be played only on a pc you could go for the max bitrate as most pc dvd players will cope.
Other things that make a difference, quality of burner, quality of disc, quality of player, quality of tv, if you have a LED/plasma HD tv, the the upscaler used will make a big difference to quality. The original file, how you edit, what you save it to and if you then re-edit that file can all make a difference.
It's not that easy
