(Page 1)2. eh? who doesn't know what I-frames are? But in all the times that I have had to convert clips to mpeg-2, I have never felt a need to use that tip listed above.

3. I think you guys are talking about my tip above checking for edit marks in Compressor... I like to check for them when I export a Quicktime from Final Cut for encoding, just to make sure I didn't miss the setting. But more importantly, I often get Quicktime exports from a client when making their DVDs. I tell them how to export properly but very often they don't do it right. If they exported their edit incorrectly I can see that there isn't any edit/cut markers in the sequence so encoding won't be as good....
1. no offense, man, but you shouldn't be posting on a DV blog if you don't know what I-frames are for.
