I was making a DVD of a crazy rock opera cartoon that I created in Premiere, v.4.21 (!) in iDVD, but then I upgraded to iDVD v.5, which had different themes; i had a HD crash, and I lost the original Quick Time movie. I rerendered the cartoon in Premiere (my IMac 17" still can boot in OS9 on occasion, luckily...) but I have not been able to recapture the soft and saturated quality of the picture from the earlier project. I can burn as many copies of it in Toast as I like, but there's a mistake in the credits, and on later versions, I added more content, which I'd llike to keep in. I've been searching for info on how I can use the .vob files from the cool DVD in a new iDVD (or FCP?) project, WITHOUT RECOMPRESSING, and thus have the best of both projects - the cool old video look, and the ability to make chapters (or QT submovies) and add new content. No luck yet. Last question: I've tried almost every compression setting in Premiere (QT6.03) and I've tried both "Best Quality" and "Best Performance" in iDVD (I think the Best Performance was the one I used on my 'favorite' looking DVD), but I can't match the soft oversaturated, slightly darker, quality that I'm striving for with any settings I've tried, in my new burn experiments. As I still have all the source material for Premiere, this would be the ideal step to backtrack to
