Glad DVD2One worked for you George, but I'm sorry you've experienced trouble
with high quality recordings. I found the same, so I now record in medium
format. This way, no re-encoding is necessary when making an authored DVD.
It saves *a lot* of time. Besides, if you record in high and then have to
re-encode, you're losing video quality anyway. Might as well go with medium
to start with.
BTW, the latest version of DVD2One is 1.5.2. It adds a number of features,
so check to make sure you've got the latest.
Regards,
Margaret
