1. First of all I would like to know what the highest average bitrate i can use if i have a max at 2520 and min around 500?

2. Second when I have a 25fps movie, do i have to somehow get it too 29.976 for it too work on my dvd player? If so how? pulldown.exe is for 23fps correct?

3. Third has CCE every cut off the end of your movie, or made it real blocky at the end? The movie completes encoding, but the end is just cut off by about 5 minutes. Which would be the credits on most movies, but on this one it's in the middle of the movie (2 part movie).

I know the first 2 questions are based mostly on which dvd player is used, but general answers are sufficient.
Your input is much appreciated! thanx
