I usually use ulead dvd workshop for my dvd authoring and if I just want a simple stereo mpeg2 file, I would use MainConcept's MPEG encoder which is $50 for Premiere 6.5 and Pro users (http://esd.element5.com/product.html?cart=1&productid=507325&languageid =1&stylefrom=500722&backlink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mainconcept.com%2Fproducts .shtml&noquickbuy=1¤cies=all)
Or $149 for everyone else - downloaded version (I haven't seen the difference there) You can also download a demo version to test it out. Ulead DVD workshop also have demo versions (www.ulead.com) and express version which is I think $200 cheaper. Or you can try Adobe Encore, which has a good program as well.

I just upgraded from Roxio Easy CD/DVD Creator version 6 to the new Roxio Easy Media Creator version 7. When I try to preview the DVD before burning it, the movie looks all "jerky" and "blocky" (those ARE technical terms, right?) :) Anyway, has anyone found a reasonably priced DVD authoring program that will give good quality? I know, I'm probably expecting too much, you get what you pay for, etc., but since this is only a hobby for me, I don't want to spend a fortune. I guess I could just go back to the old version 6, but I was having a few glitches with that one too. Also, any feedback on Nero vs Roxio for authoring? It's frustrating when I finally get what for me is a "great" movie, only to have the quality be so poor when I author it for DVD. Thanks!
