I'm pretty impressed of Canopus Procorder quality when compressing DV videos to DVD using field based video settings. However, I have a problem choosing an authoring app for this kind of video:
Scenarist and DVDMaestro are too complicated, I just want to have a bunch of videos with a still menu and creating the menu with those requeres quite a lot of work
DVDLab was my choise of authoring app, but it seems to have problems multiplexing field based video (FF/REW doesn't work too well, synch problems etc.). These problems doesn't exist when authoring the video with SpruceUp (?so here's the answer?). But I still have some problems with SpruceUp:
1) My video is shot @ 16/9, so I'd have to change the aspect ratio for every clip with ifoedit afterwards
2) I'd like to have the videos played in a sequental order (not getting to the menu after playing a title). I've seen post describing how to achieve this with SpruceUp + Ifoedit, but again looking for an simply solution.
