I started playing Ulead Video Studio 8.0 today (I've tried capturing by Movie Maker 2 and encode in TMPGEnc and authored in TMPGEnc DVD Author), and I captured AVI from my DV camcorder, edit with couple default effects, then encode AND author in it. I wonder the difference in quality compare to the old way I used (stated above)?? Unfortunately, I didn't take the same footage for a comparison and I hate wasting DVD-Rs, has anyone experiment it? Thanks for any feedback!
