Very likely. Ususally you loose such details when filtering. You can always say that you had the focus on a other object ;)

Which codec ? They can only use MPEG2. It is very likely that they have a better mpeg2encoder. You usually wont/cant efford. After all the equipemnt they use for creating DVDs is far more expensive that what you have. For my experience the comercial DVD's usually have a very high Bitrate. At least the PAL DVD does have a bitrate always near the 9MBit. I have not yet seen sequences where the bitrate is at 5Mbit. At least not in the main movie. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
