i looked in lightwave and they have 2 NTSC DV settings D1 - 720x480 and
the other D2 - 752x480
also i remember these settings from previous video work i did with our
schools Sony VX-1000 camera.. it is DV digital camera and uses 752x480
so thats what i used... the only thing i messed up on was the speed it
should have been 29.97 fps... sorry about that previously... not sure
on the specs for a DVD disc but the others are the specs for usual DV
video equipment... VCD, Camcorder ETC....
