Render With Resample Option

I'm doing video with a mix between regular speed and slow motion footage. I know that enabling the 'resample' option makes the slow motion smoother.

I'd like to render to MPG2 directly from VV3, but I cannot find an option to 'resample' when I choose MPG2 format. Thus, my slow motion events are choppy. I can correct the choppy events by modifying the properties of each event that are in slow motion, but that would take time (there are a lot) and I don't want to accidentally miss an event. So I'd rather just tell VV3 to 'resample' the entire project when I render.

However, when I render as AVI NTSD DV, I have the option to 'resample' the entire project which makes it more convenient for me. But, this doing it this way requires me to wait for Sonic's DVDit PE to convert the file to MPG2 when I burn a DVD and that takes a long time. But, is Sonic's MPG2 convertion to MPG2 better than VV3's and I should take this route anyway?

I know a blabbled a lot, so here's a summary:

1 - Is there an option to render as MPG2 in VV3 to allow 'resample' for entire project?
2 - Who's convertion to MPG2 is better; VV3 or Sonic DVDit?

Thanks,
Ron

You could still miss something, but if you multi select clips you can apply resample and it will apply to all selected. Just can't have any audio files selected.

On a side note...something to watch out for when switching multiple clips.

One thing I haven't tried in 3.0a that annoyed me in previous versions - if you have, say, 10 clips. ABCDEFGHIJ. Change a switch (like resample) on clip E. Then highlight all of them and change the same switch en masse. Clip E's switch will be reversed from the rest. Ack! :) There should be a way to enable all of them regardless of what each clip's switch is currently set to.
