If you know what file format the renders were (ie quicktime, windows media, etc) you can search based on the file type.
1) go to the start menu
2) Select "Search" and then "for Files or Folders"...

Can you render to a raw AVI / MOV format that is not compressed at all? This would be playable only on a computer since DVD or HD-DVD / BlueRay can't use those as movie discs (possibly just as a...

Hey there!
Glad to see another Idaho poster to DVInfo.net. I thought I was the only one! But then again, I stick to the Wedding & Vegas forums, so unless someone posts there, I won't find them.

You can burn, but you can't play
I have found lots of problems with burning at anything over 2x. New DVD players can cope, but the vast majority of component DVD players out there cannot.
