Just as Cgarn posted, I've just finished my first project...thanks to all of the question posters and problem solvers! This forum is a great resource.
This program has clearly outshone every other program I've used for editing (and I've used them all over the past few years).
One question...once I got the DVD files together, I used Nero for the actual burning (just because I've had great results with this in the past). As I think I've read on other posts, Nero reported a possible error with video file allocation. I proceeded to burn the DVD anyway, and it plays perfectly on both my computer DVD drive and on my home theater setup...any idea what the cause of this is???
