Sune, go to Ulead's forum and you will find a tons of people having problem with Ulead's own mpeg2 encoding, majority got the darn pixelation problem during fast motion that they get frustrated, as I did. ;) But as I've learned, you have a much flexibility and control when you break things apart and do it separately. ;)

Thank you for your thourough explanation! Have anyone else experienced that Ulead DVD workshop doesn't create mpg2 all that well?
