During demoing DVDlab I have noticed one item that would prevent me from purchasing, maybe someone can give me a tip to fix. After importing the video file as a resource it always removes the fadeout at the end of the file, leaving me with an abrupt ending. Is there a setting I can use to included this fade out or a feature I can use to add one?

If I can't fix this can anyone make another suggestion for other DVD authoring tools?

How did the fade out get onto the file?
Did you put it there, or did you get this file from somewhere else?
What are you using to view the file? Maybe it's the software that's adding the fade, and it's not part of the video stream.
I say all this, because DVDLab does nothing to the video. It doesn't cut (unless you want it to), it doesn't encode, it doesn't magically remove parts of your files...

the file had a fade out already in it, I can view the original in any playback utility I have and it fades at the end. After authoring a DVD al the files have the fade out gone. I tried re-compling and making another disk from scratch and all the fade outs do not show up. I take video from Sage in mpeg2 format run it through video redo to remove commercials and then was intending to use DVDlab to compose the final disk which would include several episodes of a TV show an a menu allowing me to select the episodes. Everything else worked fine, that's why I was wondering if there is some setting which is causing this truncation.

Not that I'm aware of, in dvdlab. It doesn't edit video at all, which makes me think that some other software is adding the fadeout, only during playback (Sage maybe?), or the particular mpeg-2 decoder on your system may be doing it, or (remotely) possible, FFDShow postprocessing (that's a total loony bin guess) ;)
Are you sure the edited output from VideoReDo has fades?
Just another thought...VideoReDo does not correct GOP size when doing cuts, so the fades may be beyond the 18 frame GOP limit, thus DLP assumes they are not there.

I'm absolutely positive the fades are part of the original file. be cause i do a frame by frame advance at the end of the show to leave fade out and cut the show right before the commercial fades in. These fades are part of the original TV broadcast. went to the DVDlab website to see if they had some sort of contact info so I could check with them on this situation but was unsuccesful. Which is why I decided to post here as this is my mecca for cd/dvd burning authoring info.
