Ultimately, I will be compressing for the 'net, but I like to begin all projects with the best possible quality to edit from. Would you mind explaining how to use the MPEG2 file? I'm currently on a Mac, though I do have part-time access to a PC.
Thanks,
Harold

Well Harold, you ask a complicated question. If you're just going to
compress for the web, I don't know the best answer. However, if you
want to have a 720x480, 30fps version, then MPEG2 is the way to go.
The conversion process is a bit time consuming, but you end up with a
very good looking movie. It can be done with freeware. Let me know
if that is is what you want and I'll tell you how to do it.
