Yeah, I'm on a PC using Premiere Pro (CS4). I don't think its the fade itself since it looks just fine when I play it on the computer itself (its only after its been burnt on DVD). The fade is from the default black background with the opacity of the initial frame at zero and slowly brought up to 100%. I suppose I can try rendering to QT first and see if that burns to DVD without issue. It doesn't seem like that should fix the problem, but what do I know, I'm just a rube who likes making images melt and gets befuddled thinking too much about compression schemes (and btw why do you call avi files horrible horrible?) Oh yeah, and this is a simple 720x480 piece, no HD or the like. Thanks Kevin On Mon, Jul 20, 2009 at 2:54 PM, mark francombe<mark@markfrancombe.com> wrote: > Almost definately your compressor.
