  RE: Rendering artifats
  Here are 2 screen shots. It is hard to see, but there is a blockiness in the sky on the right picture - artifacts that I don't see in the original. I guess you have to see it rendered, and then it is much worse in youtube. What am I missing in VPX?

  RE: Rendering artifats
  Thanks Roger. I don't see the artifacts in the original footage. I have used VPX on 2 different laptops... 1 a very slow dog, and now on an older engineering laptop with Intel i7 vPro. Maybe Panasonic AVCHD files are too highly compressed. But I

  RE: DVD/Blu-ray Burning
