Recording mpg's

[Jason Poulter]

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....
