its been a min... i need to no the answer to this now since i dont have dvd mastreo..... can anything else do this.......i also dont see a eval software on there site http://www.spruce-tech.com/

No ones answering because this is one of those questions that has been answered dozens of times already.

If you were that desperate you would have done a search and found it by now.

Try Kazza or Winmx to find those programs.
Spruce is no longer sold because Apple bought it and killed it.

i tried kazza and another one but but it didnt find it.... now i did find spurce up just hasnt installed it yet...... so i guess i have to look up how to use spruce up since i guess some people have attitudes

Here is a guide that will help with Maestro: http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/dvdr-guides.htm but the settings shown in that dvd2dvdr guide your using have been working fine for me.

-The one thing that guide did not mention was the 4:3/16:9 settings at the bottom of the window shown below. The version shown in the guide must not have had that setting.
Version in guide:


And version with the settings available:


Or it may be that setting is there but doesn't show up till assets are imported. Either way, the guide made no mention of it and I missed it...authored several movies at 4:3 when I would have rather made them 16:9 letterbox.

No attitude here!
