what settings did you use (custom rate and vbr quality)? I've Tried a couple dvds using the default dvd settings but the output is really bad. Lots of artifacts. the divx and vcd/svcd settings are fine. btw...what is a cvd???

the "artifacts" your speak of are totally normal, DVD->DVD you willl most likely see that the interlacing doesnt look proper on the computer screen, once u burn the dvd it will look totally normal. interlacing for computers vs tv is totally different And it would explain these "artifacts" you are tallkin about.

Ok, I have had no problems converting DVD-DVD. All of them are great looking and in sync. My problem lies in the fact of how to author the new 42 encoded files to burn a dvd-r. I was assuming DVDSP would work, but I get an error because of the frame rate of 23.98 fps not being accepted By DVDSP... How else do I author the files?

Seems like sizzle works though I only seem to get audio through half the movie when testing with VLC and apple dvd player... Creating the dvd folders with ffmpegx I get full audio, but it is in mpeg format and not the 5.1 ac3 that I input... MMT 9.1 had the same problem as sizzle, only half the movie had audio..

So I guess the question is, how do I author a DVD and get the 5.1 ac3 track and not an mpg audio track?
