Hi,
I'm capturing hi8 source thru instant dvd to 5mb/sec mpegs. I edited in mediastudio with some trims, cuts and fx's....and tried 'create video file' to first ntsc dvd mpeg and than 'mpeg2' at 5mb/sec constant rate with 192kb/sec audio. It appears to go ok except the final output file has all the sound but is black screen? If I pause , than it's at the right moment frame but not moving.
What am I doing wrong?
Also, is it recompressing the files to mpeg with the ligos it seems to come with? And if so Is it generally better quality to use premiere with cce as the compressor?
thanks,
Jack

btw the goal is to create cDVD and DVD-R using dvdit or mydvd.
