Hi,
i have just finished editing a video of mine of Pinnacle Studio 8, i am new to all this and have only had a dvd writer and a cam for around 8 months. I have unfortunatly found some problems with studio in creating a finished video file.
As you may know in studio, once you have finished editing you click "make movie" where you choose what quality you want to author your video to. I have had some problems here. I wished to turn my project into a "dvd compatible" mpeg. Pinnacle created it but when i watched it back it jumped (audio and videp) nearly every second or so. I was deeply anoyed with this. So i tried creating it as a svcd file and the same happened. Then i tried VCD quality and it did not happen but however the video and sound quality isnt what i was hoping for. I was wondering if you could help. I was thinkin maybe i could output the vid back to DV tape but my cam cannot output (unless i unlock it, voiding warranty) i also could burn a dvd using pinnacles dvd authoring facility in studio but i would much prefer not to as i would like to create my own menus etc. I was also thinking, i was given this software by a friend. The software could be American or something like that so would that effect the output file?

thank you

Hope you can help

Liam
