I am trying to render a project as .avi file to bring into ULead VS 6 so I can change the MPEG-2 Encoder parms that I can't change in VF2. The problem is that when I use the DV Codec, & then look at the beginning of the file ,which has a fixed title that fades into a scanned pic that has writing on it, the Title has what appear to be shadows extending down from letters (NOT on project title) & the pic's writing is blurred & hard to read. Looks good in project tho. I tried using an uncompressed .avi file, but the HUGE file size doesn't work for ULead. Any thoughts on the DV encoder ?
