Re: problems fading to black Att Stephen Gotz THANKS

Thanks so much, i think your idea will work but just one more question and I am really there! Firstly, I tried doing the MPEG2 DVD and putting into authoring along with the avi version to compare. Indeed, the MPEG2 DVD had a proper black so thanks so much. The question is this: can I change the compression level with premiere if I render to MPEG2 DVD? I ask because most of my projects are are over an hour (but not more than two). Authoring programs let you choose options so that you can fit the project on a disc, but I am scared that doing your way for a two hour job will give me a 'not enough space' on the authoring program. Or, is it okay to recompress the MPEG2 DVD in the authoring program, or is there a specific setting in premier that I should use? I know there is a big list of PAL options saying hi and lo quality and 1 pass 2 pass etc. I know there is a slight quality loss for two hours in any case, but I have always been more than happy before (apart from the problem that I came on here with in the first place). I do need to know this, but your solution looks like it will work in theory, so thanks again.
