I was ecstatic to finally get my copy of VV3 today. It installed quickly and without a hitch.
The first thing on my agenda to try was making a SVCD. (SuperVideoCD). So, I put together a quick little home movie, went to the 'Render As' selection in the 'File' menu, and used the template for SCVD. Knowing that VV3 did not have the capability to burn an SVCD, I opened my Nero burning software that I got specifically for this task, selected the SVCD template, choose the file I had just rendered, and much to my surprise, it worked like a charm. I then popped it into my home DVD player, and it played it just fine.
So the crux of this is that yes, you can make an SVCD without buying the mpeg encoder for Nero simply by rendering it using the SVCD template in VV3. The reason I mention this is that I gave somebody the advice that they could download a trial version of Nero from their website, and another forum user replied that yes the Demo version is good for 30 days, and could render SVCD's, but it did not include the mpeg plug-in. The fact is; however, that the mpeg plug-in in unneccesary because you can render it from within VV3.
I am quite glad for the ease of the whole process, but am still a bit dissapointed at the quality of the final product, granted, I haven't tweaked with the settings at all. If I come up with a cleaner render, I'll let you good folks know.
Merry Christmas
Keep up the Creativity. It's good for us all.
