have xl2 and power book g4 with finalcut xpress . just put ilife 5 to make dvd in 16x9 .but it dose a crappy job .so i added toast titanium very nice . works real good . here is my question . i have been using 60i cause fpx dose not handle 24p . but in toast i can copy dirrect to disc in 24p and it is fantastic . is there any way to edit the 24p you know add titles trans music ecc . in toast without loosing 24p .thanks dp

For what you want to do, if you don't want to spend $500 on DVD SP 3, I'd suggest looking for someone selling DVD SP 2 and get that for cheap. I don't have version 2, so can anyone say whether it supports 24p? I would think it does...

i think i am going to wait awhile . that new h264 media is comming soon .so i will see what thats all about .before i spend more $$$ .thanks dp

Well, the H264/AVC won't affect how you encode normal DVDs, but NAB is just around the corner right? Who knows what goodies will be on display?

i was just reading about ox10.4 tiger and quicktime 7 .should be out soon , so i am going to hold on untill then . thanks Mark dp

Yeah, its rumored to be Golden Mastered and starting duplication any day now... Can't wait for h264/AVC in QT for distributing web video!
