PE3 and DVD Quality

[Chuck Engels]

That was version 2 and version 3 may have changed (although I doubt it). Robert sent me samples, one burned at the max 8 and one burned at 5.4, the clip burned at 5.4 was noticeably higher quality especially during movement.

Maybe someone is willing to test it with version 3
I may give it a shot but it will have to wait until July before I can get to it.

Like Ken, I'm a bit skeptical too, or maybe just it is hard to believe. But since you mentioned it helped with motion stuff, I have a short project (actually in the gallery) of my nephew playing Lacrosse. I'm going to burn this at 8 and 5.4 just so I can see myself. I'll report back. I use PE2.

OK... so I only have PE2 and I tried burning a video with a lot of movement as 5.4 and 8Mps. I then played them back and I did not see any difference (this is a subjective test, rememebr).

To be honest it could be the video source itself. I'm not happy with the quality to begin with and the fact that alot of the action is at a distance probably doesn't give me a good point of reference. But I was surprised that I saw NO difference. I would think I would see some difference.

Exactly

If there is a lot of movement and the shots are closer I bet the 5.4 would look better. At least it did in Robert's example.

[Bob D]

Yeah, I guess I was hoping it would make it better. But they say you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Of course, I'm still looking for "they"!
