RE-RENDERING

I am working on a large movie with several separate sections. If I finish a section, render it then bring it back into the project as 1 mpeg-2 file, will I lose quality or should I just finish the entire project and render the whole thing at once? I would like to do it section by section and then just link the big files together. Does this make sense? Thanks

I would render each section to an avi file as you go along. Then you can combine the multiple avi's and render them to an MPG2.

Do as briggs says. However, if you have already rendered to separate MPEG files, you can assemble them (along with the audio files) in DVDA. These MPEG files will not be re-rendered by DVDA, but merely combined together to create the VOB files that are then burned onto your DVD blank.

Okay cool. Like the AVI idea. Will I lose quality though?

You will lose virtually none.

On the *nano* level, yes, but *pratically*, "no."
