2ND: SHOTS OF ACTOR ON HOLLYWOOD BLVD. AT NIGHT I CAN'T MAKE OUT FACE LIKE IN ORIGINAL MOVIE CLIP.

3RD: IN ONE SCENE AT THE END THE LAST THREE MINUTES THE ACTORS FACE ARE REALLY RED LIKE A METALIC COLR AND THEN AT TIMES ITS VERY DARK CAN HARDLY SEE ACTORS FACES (AND THESE ARE MEDIUM TO CLOSE UP SHOTS IM TALKING ABOUT) AND THE MANS FACE IS CLEAN SHAVEN BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A 5 OCLOCK SHADOW FROM HELL APPEARS ON HIS FACE AS WELL! THIS IS NOT IN MY ORIGINAL CLIP!!

4TH: IN TWO SCENES AT THE FIRST MINUTE OF EACH SCENE THERES A SLIGHT GREENISH GRAY COLOR ON ACTORS FACES THAT WON'T GO AWAY?

There's not enough information to help - what did you import into DVDA - an avi - if so, what encoder/settings? an MPEG2 - if so, what encoder/bitrate/other settings.

DVD Architect has helped produce many high quality DVDs for myself and many others, so this may not be where your problem is.

... and please release your Caps Lock key.

The encoding in DVD Architect is extremely high-quality. If you are getting bad results, it is probably from encoding in some other application, or in using the wrong settings. You need to supply more information, as Peter already said, about where you encoded the MPEG and what settings you used.

Hi

Sorry about the caps! And my frustration!!!

Now for my 15 min. movie promo.

I first used adobe premiere 6.5 not by choice then my dialogue wasn’t in stereo so a friend turned me on to adobe premiere pro 1.5 I got dialogue in stereo fix that problem.

I used avi. Files and a few quick time files (quick time files not by choice)

I used wave files for music bit rate at 1141 kbps
Some mp3 bit rate at 160, 128, 96
On my project settings in adobe pro 1.5 it says

30fps drop frame time code
Capture format dv/ieee 1394 capture
Audio hardware creative asio

I don’t know what else I can give u to help me.
